It is proposed in its composite surround this with baked bricks that are also a traditional material in the local area, with some of the main objectives, do not use glass in their windows, incorporating traditional elements such as chazas, where it allows ventilation and the shadow that are necessary for the tropical climate of the place.
It occurs in a horizontal plane high; lightened by a system of pillars of teak which serves to support the breadwinner walls and cover, leaving it to the naked on the volume of ” private” aiming to develop through a proprietary architecture of the tropics, a proposal that meets the needs of the client; on the ground floor, and integrated with the outside and their day-to-day activities, there is a social area that closes in on itself, and opens toward the interior of the house as a rest area with hammocks. This will generate micro-climates, through the material and its new features.
It is suggested with the material, the architectural program of a project, highlighted with different logics of implementation of brick to provide privacy and permeability.
Define a response of urban housing that through different strategies such as the application of principles of sustainable design, is still in the process of searching for ways to question the possibility of having a solution of city closest to reality, to our traditions and the optimization of resources.
