MF+ Arquitetos' latest project embraces green wall architecture in a residential setting. The home is titled '[Casa MCNY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-brisa)' and is located in the heart of Franca, Brazil. This hybrid residence blurs the lines between interior and exterior, and is equipped with a transformative deck which opens into the home's backyard.

Casa MCNY transforms the meaning of traditional green wall architecture with a hybrid design that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. "The house's simple concrete structure has a low profile and a [turfed roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shibanee-kamal) that enhances its connection with the surrounding landscape."

The residence is surrounded by plant-covered partitions, with greenery that is subtly penetrated by the sun's rays. The home's wood clad exterior includes accordion-like doors which open to reveal a lush garden, creating a seamless transition from its communal interior spaces to the great outdoors.
