In today’s tech-driven world, where disconnection from nature and community is growing, architecture has the power to become a healing force. This project responds to global challenges such as climate change, social isolation, and ecological degradation by proposing a regenerative living model that offers more than shelter: it creates a living ecosystem.

BETWEEN

While analyzing the project site, we identified it as a threshold between the expanding city and surrounding nature. Instead of creating a sharp division, we approached sustainability as a unity where urban and natural elements intertwine. Our design reflects this relationship and aims to rethink how city and nature can coexist.

HARMONIA

Our project in Boa Vista fosters cultural interaction between locals and visitors through community-based initiatives The main building and grid structure organize the settlement of users based on their purpose and length of stay. The organic layout, inspired by the Branco River, supports the division, integration, and adaptability of spaces.

The project's primary goal is to reintegrate marginalized communities into society, fostering cultural sustainability.

Culinary Beacon

Noticing integration challenges in Boa Vista, we aimed to unite cultures through food. The settlement follows a road-to-beach axis, with a monumental chimney breaking the grid. These chimneys, hosting dining areas, libraries, and workshops, serve as cultural hubs fostering interaction.

FLOW

The eco-village designed in Boa Vista is shaped by the biophilia hypothesis and presents a lifestyle model integrated with nature. Nature has a positive impact on humans, supporting mental and emotional well-being. This eco-village is based on the concept of the hollow, spatially interpreting the innate human need for a sense of secure refuge.

Co-Finity

The eco-village creates a transition between urban life and nature. We define the concept of a cycle as a continuous flow that sustains itself and each other, approaching sustainability from this perspective. Small cycles come together to form a larger cycle. We have created temporary living spaces for digital nomads.
