tropical space has also used elements of the clay brick and concrete exterior within the residence, combined with solid wood surfaces and details, and a terrazzo floor. the perforated façade is used to bring enough natural light and air inside without compromising privacy, while it also encloses an outdoor terrace at the top floor. pieces of furniture in solid wood create a warm, cozy atmosphere within the different rooms, complemented by plenty of greenery. the kitchen, dining room and living room are located on the ground floor, a second living room occupies the mezzanine, and bedrooms are placed on the two upper floors.
