Well this modern and eco-friendly house in Brazil is called the Leaf House. Located at the front of the beach, the Leaf House is truly an extravagant shelter that allows man to make connection with nature. Ride a helicopter and you will see the reason why it is called so. It looks like a huge banana leaf placed all together to cover the lair of modern Tarzans and Janes. And because of its location, the Leaf House no longer needs airconditioning system just to provide its visitors the relaxing and cooling ambiance.

Another eco-friendly house, the Leaf House’s roof can collect rainwater for consumption. The interior of the organic-inspired house is mainly made up of wood, natural fabrics, and stone. There are no corridors and there are even open spaces between each and every room, making it the ideal venue for all your social gatherings.
