Set on the highest point of a residential community in Manaus, Brazil, and bordering a permanent conservation area, Pupunha House features a landscape design by Hana Eto Gall Landscape that was conceived as a direct dialogue with the Amazon rainforest.
The guiding principle was to turn the garden into the true protagonist, softening the boundaries between natural vegetation and built form. The residence itself was designed by Laurent Troost Architectures, with interiors by Chris Coimbra.
Arrival is framed as a sensorial experience: visitors follow a path immersed in tropical vegetation, where large foliage, natural shade, and rich textures create a fresh, humid microclimate. This immersion continues inside the residence, as greenery extends into the architecture and follows the circulation routes, integrating nature into everyday life.
With automated irrigation systems and an implementation strategy that respects both the terrain and the ecosystem, Pupunha House embodies the idea of a home that seems to float above the forest canopy. Plant selection also reflects this approach, prioritizing native and climate-adapted species such as Calatheas, Alocasias, Heliconias, banana trees, and palms.
Part of the existing vegetation was preserved, while new species with ecological and aesthetic value were introduced to enhance comfort, privacy, and biodiversity.

About Hana Eto Gall Landscape
Hana Eto Gall Landscape, founded in 2018 and based in Manaus, Brazil, develops projects that integrate landscape design and architecture, while respecting the surroundings and the specific needs of each space. Led by landscape architect Hana Eto Gall, a graduate of the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM), with complementary international training at the University of the Basque Country in Spain, the team delivers sustainable, functional, and self-sufficient solutions for residential, commercial, hospitality, and urban projects across Brazil.
Each project begins with attentive listening, where the use of native vegetation, organic lines, and natural textures come together to create environments that promote well-being and foster relationships between body and city, home and surroundings, built form and nature, broadening the experience of inhabiting.
The practice oversees every stage of its projects, from concept to implementation and post-construction. As it expands its work to larger-scale developments such as parks and planned neighborhoods, Hana Eto Gall Landscape seeks to affirm landscape design as an essential element in creating spaces that enhance quality of life and strengthen the connection with nature in urban environments.
