Ane Weissheimer in Brazil - Modern Stunner

So, the other day I mentioned my friend and colleague Fernando, who is from Brazil. He's the friend I am sending on a mission to find the Slice House, because he lives in the city where it is. Anyway, I was talking to him and showing him my site, when he mentions that his wife is an architect. How cool! And she's just done a house for her sister, who lives in Camaqua, Brazil. Here are some pics Fernando sent me today.








Stunning, isn't it. Fernando's wife certainly has an eye for spectacular modern style. Her name is Ane Weissheimer, and she practices in Porto Alegre, Brazil. I'd like to learn more about her work. It's very interesting to see how houses in different parts of the world are constructed (I threw in some of the construction pics too). You don't see very many concrete houses like this one in the USA. The house is just now about 95 percent complete, and the homeowners are moving in.

It's so fun to meet people from different parts of the world. The company I work for is very international, and meeting nice people like Fernando is a real perk of my job. The training program Fernando and I are on is taking us to some interesting places. We're going to India next month, and possibly Slovenia in August or September. I bet I'll see some really interesting stuff along the way. Maybe something more for this blog. We'll see ...
