There's such a wide variance in home design around the world that it can often feel like a stretch to say that two given buildings both fall under that classification, but 'Oasis House' takes housing even further. The abode upends the fundamental definition of what a home is, leaving several key areas exposed to the beautiful natural environment.
As Oasis Home's name makes clear, the home is in an idyllic environment. Its temperate location in Brazil means that it's comfortable to be outside virtually year-round, and the home takes advantage of that trait by opening up space to the elements. Several living areas ostensibly inside the home are almost entirely exposed to nature, transforming the home from a place of shelter to a place of comfort.
