The cosinee that guests find in our Chalés das Margaridas has to do with a story of affection for a person and a place. The person: Margarida, matriarch of the family, now 99 years old and in a good mood. The place: the quiet Ibicaraí, a city in the south of Bahia, where one of our partners, the architect and designer Rosanna Silveira, lived her childhood.

 

The icing on the cake is the look for details and the talent for management, design and social media of young architect Raíssa Silveira, 29, daughter of Rosanna, and partners in all professional projects. While one stays longer in Vale do Capão, the other alternates her routine between visits to Chapada at times of greater flow of visitors and managing business in Salvador.

 

But the story begins in a girl's dream, influenced by a cousin, who had a similar project, the architect Rosanna Silveira was encouraged to acquire land in the place. It was love at first sight when she met Vale do Capão. There she saw the possibility of fulfilling the dream of a lifetime: leaving the stress of Salvador for an activity capable of bringing her slow life back to when she was 12 years old in the heartland.

 

Saved up some money, courage and had the unique partnership of her architect daughter to endeavour. As they did years ago when they created RR Arquitetas, they got down to business and there is Chalés das Margaridas, a place that revives  the best childhood memories of a woman from a peaceful heartland.
