A lifelong passion project, the clients’ aspirations are to build a unique, world class, family eco-home and provide low impact lodge accommodation on the land for the tourists who visit the adjacent UNESCO heritage site at Parque Nacional da Serra da Bocaina which is one of the biggest protected areas of pristine Atlantic Forest in the world.

By working with the land, including the forest, multiple natural springs, waterfalls
and streams, the team’s joint vision will promote harmony with the environment to make memorable and meaningful interactions with the landscape.

The resort will be a net zero development: with our wealth of sustainable expertise, mstep will
provide the sustainability and energy strategy for the site and provide environmental design for the
off-grid lodges delivering the unique traveller experience using local and renewable resources.
