The Details

What makes it Kobu

Key architect of Brazilian Modernism, along with Mies Van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer, Wladimir Alves de Souza left his mark. It’s a unique architectural villa made of arches, concrete and precious woods. It’s a unique architectural villa “conceived” of arches, concrete and precious woods.
