The project is based on the program assumptions and climatic conditions of the region. To face the climate of Palmas TO, you basically need permanent shading and ventilation and this is why the incessant search for solutions with different sunlight filters and at the same time the possibility of cross and constant ventilation.
To meet the division of the program, both on the ground and upper floors, and the circulation flow, the project is resolved into two programmatic pavilions connected by a covered, light, protected courtyard. In order to guarantee even more comfort in the region's predominantly dry climate, the entire ground floor was lowered by 50cm and placed over a reflecting pool that works, in turn, as a cooling system.
This way, you have a free, open and fresh ground floor. The programs included in it focus on the direct audience and are covered in wood. The more private programs continue in the metallic volumes on the upper floor.
Two protected blocks, connected by the courtyard, perched on the water.
