With design influenced by both Brutalism and Modernism and a location that straddles the pulsing streets of Rio’s Santa Teresa district as well as a swathe of protected forest, Chez Georges emerges as a place of enigmatic contrasts. The nine-room villa is characterized by raw concrete, whitewashed walls, exotic woods, and soaring ceilings, while interiors see an abundance of mid-century furnishings, antiques, and bathrooms featuring typical azulejo mosaics. Solely available for exclusive hire, Chez Georges houses a state-of-the-art recording studio, alongside the ubiquitous pool, sun-drenched terrace, and authentic Brazilian restaurant.  

Set within the splendid isolation of farmland and cashew tree forests at the very edge of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, La Ferme de Georges is the rural counterpart to Rio’s Chez Georges. Envisioned by Originals Pierre Bident Moldeva and Olivier Verwilghen as a self-sufficient hub—disconnected from the bustle of everyday life—an organic plantation sits side-by-side with a plant-to-plate restaurant and seven chalets. The chalets are reminiscent of tradition Brazilian beach huts, surrounded by lush greenery, and constructed from locally-sourced hard wood, brick, and palha, or straw. The neighboring beachside village of Atins offers sublime kite surfing conditions in the quintessential off-the-beaten-track setting.
