The bold vision of FGMF's Brazilian countryside retreat
The Wallpaper* Architects Directory has turned 20. Conceived in 2000 as our index of emerging architectural talent, this annual listing of promising practices, has, over the years, spanned styles and continents; yet always championing the best and most exciting young studios and showcasing inspiring work with an emphasis on the residential realm. To mark the occasion, in the next months, we will be looking back at some of our over-500 alumni, to catch up about life and work since their participation and exclusively launch some of their latest completions. Defined by a striking cantilever, Casa Cigarra is a composition of architectural volumes, green spaces and water in the Brazilian countryside, created by 2009 Wallpaper* Architects Directory alumnus FGMF Arquitetos.
