Designer homes come in all shapes and sizes, but they’re not often as architecturally impressive as Casa Terra, located outside of Rio de Janeiro. This striking home looks more like a museum or venue than a home, thanks to it’s enormous cantilevered roof, which extends far beyond the home’s footprint, to become a wonderful outdoor veranda.  The home’s design is clean and refined, with a Brazilian sensibility, and an expansive connection to the outdoors, thanks to huge windows and an open floor plan.
