Seragini Farné
The office credited by RFM for the architecture and interiors of Txai Itacaré, one of the first boutique hotels in Brazil.
Who they are
Seragini Farné is the office credited by developer RFM for the architecture and interior design of the Txai Resort Itacaré, delivered in the early 2000s on Itacarezinho beach, in Itacaré. The work is among the first in the country to bring to the coast a light-construction language inspired by Indonesian architecture, using native raw materials — piassava palm and oil-palm thatch — in the roofs and cladding, with a low-density layout spread across the hillside and the coconut groves.
This entry records the credit exactly as published by the developer. No open portfolio of the office has been located so far.
Language
- Style: light construction integrated with the forest, with low volumes and steeply pitched roofs.
- Materials and signature: native raw material from the region — piassava palm and oil-palm thatch — as both finishing material and identity.
- Awards: (to be gathered.)
Landmark works
- Txai Itacaré — architecture and interiors for the original development by RFM on Praia de Itacarezinho, with landscaping by Marcelo Novaes.
