Project subject to change in accordance with the Memorial Descritivo (statutory specification)

and with the approvals of the competent authorities.

Named “A Mata”, the residential project is an intimate destination on 16,369.21 square meters of forest, on one of the rarest properties in Trancoso. Close to the main guesthouses and restaurants of Praia dos Nativos, the villas sit within the natural landscape rather than on top of it.

Drawing on the coastal way of living in Trancoso — an intact jewel of the Brazilian coast — the architect Guilherme Torrês brings contemporary architecture and interiors that speak to the plain good taste of local life. The villas were designed as an extension of the outdoors, wrapped in Alex Hanazaki's landscape design, and the result is private and quietly enigmatic.

The project

The project celebrates the carpenters and craftspeople of a region known for its handwork, pairing wood with micro-pigmented cement. The combination brings Brazilian architecture into step with the way people live in Trancoso, and makes for a slower kind of stay — one that gives a sense of belonging.

Laid out over two floors, the villas open onto the outdoors in different ways, giving three distinct levels of living: intimate, reserved and social.

A Mata sets out to redefine what a summer house can be on this stretch of the Brazilian coast, joining authorial architecture and landscape design to local building expertise.

Guilherme Torrês

Guilherme Torrês's studio works across architecture, furniture, visual identity and set design, and keeps a close eye on new materials and techniques. His signature is in the originality of the line. He and his team like being asked for spatial solutions that have not been tried before, whether in buildings, interiors or products. What sets the studio apart is how it puts traditional elements to new use.

Landscape design

Alex Hanazaki

From his studio in São Paulo, Hanazaki is one of the leading names in contemporary landscape design in Brazil. For him, landscape is part of how well people live. His standing challenge is to design gardens as though they were works of art.

Privacy and comfort, made for the best of living in Trancoso

a nampur

A home ready to be lived in.

From architecture to landscaping, the project arrives resolved — all that remains is choosing how to fill the days.

The build is ours, from first sketch to delivery.

Nampur develops and builds. Buyers follow the progress without managing site, crew or schedule.

A place where you arrive already belonging.

For nearly ten years Nampur has been building the same neighbourhood in southern Bahia — those arriving now find a formed community.
