Studio Jordano Valota has designed a new home in Brazil, that has a large open plan main living area.

An interesting design element they included in the main floor of the house, is a long sliding wood wall that can close off the kitchen from the dining area and the living room.

The sliding wood wall can be opened to reveal the large kitchen with an expansive island that seats eight, as well as a warm wood ceiling.
