Embracing Light, Nature, and Serenity: Casa Coral by Sidney Quintela.

Embracing Light, Nature, and Serenity: Casa Coral by Sidney Quintela

Nestled in the enchanting coastal village of Praia do Forte, Bahia, Casa Coral is Sidney Quintela’s latest exploration of contemporary tropical architecture—a seamless dialogue between family living, coastal landscapes, and ecological elegance. 

Spanning 501 m² across two levels, this home caters to a large extended family seeking leisure immersed in nature’s embrace. Quintela artfully arranged seven sea-facing suites—two on the ground floor, five upstairs—to maximize waterfront views and ensure ample cross-ventilation. 

Materially, the house speaks a refined language: beige facades echo sand, natural woods and stone blend with burnt-cement textures, while quartzite flooring in social zones and the pool offers visual continuity with the surroundings. The design employs generous glazing, expansive wood-framed shutters, and sweeping views for an effortless connection with the outside world, achieving both visual fluidity and thermal comfort. 

Inside, subtle cabinetry emphasizes functionality, while furnishings strike a thoughtful balance—modern Brazilian designs mingle with rustic elements, travel souvenirs, and artworks by Northeastern artists, creating a warm, personable atmosphere. 

The finishing touches reflect a true resort-like ethos: palm-thatch pergolas, double-height pivot doors, verdant landscaping, and a flourishing tropical vibe round out the experience. Casa Coral also champions sustainability—photovoltaic panels ensure full energy self-sufficiency, while Demuner-designed wide frames enhance thermal comfort and reduce dependence on artificial cooling

In sum, Casa Coral showcases Sidney Quintela’s mastery in sculpting spaces that harmonize simplicity, sophistication, and deep respect for place—an elegant blueprint for living that celebrates sun, sea, and heartfelt design.
