The colored constructions of the local vernacular architecture, as well as the pitched roof mixes well with the precise lines of modern volumes. Located in front of a beautiful beach in the city of Itacaré, in the Brazilian northeast -, the site of House Txai has a wall that reaches 13 meters above sea level. This topographical condition permits that, even with the existing treetops, it is possible to observe a beautiful view of the sea from the site. Furthermore, the lower area is susceptible to a little flooding, thus confirming the implantation of a higher point.
