The architectural project for “Casa do Bosque” assumes the complexity of working and accepting a pre-existing volumetry. Aware of potentials and opportunities, the intervention is designed based on microsurgeries that seeks to solve the architectural language and at the same time consolidate the program from the definition of materialities, spatialities and atmospheres.
Casa na Árvore appears as a complement to the programme — single-family housing — and seeks a strategy of integration into the landscape, with a triangular geometry that embraces three trees on the ground, resulting in a unique and specific design of this place in a tangent proximity to nature.
