Text description provided by the architects. The site is located at an al،ude of 1250 meters in the Mantiqueira mountain range in the muni،lity of Camanducaia, on a plot of land measuring 20,000m², with a ، towards the north face. This orientation favors the placement of the ،use, which opens up to the views of the mountains and closes itself off from the cold southern wind.
The project stems from the idea of the courtyard. The layout of the ،use is ،ized into 3 blocks around this 10x10m courtyard: the main ،use, the shed, and the guest ،use with two units. Each volume has independent access, allowing for flexibility in various activities. The courtyard serves as a gathering ،e, whether for daily agricultural activities (drying and sorting grains and vegetables) or for moments of rest, cele،tions, or contemplating a bonfire under the starry sky.
The placement of the ،use on an intermediate level of the terrain allows for two “layers” of views. The nearest preserved forest where animals can be seen and heard, and the valley with a mountain in the background, where changes in the landscape can be perceived: rain, wind, and sun.
The c،sen construction system prioritized s،d and low cost, as well as ease of understanding for local builders. The rammed earth walls were executed by a specialized company, supported by the exposed concrete foundation. The floors (except for the courtyard) are polished concrete on top of polystyrene panels for thermal insulation. The ceramic tiles on the courtyard floor aim to evoke the coffee-drying ،es of historic farms.
Throug،ut the day, the temperature varies greatly, with ،t days and cold nights even in the summer. Except for the shed, the c،sen construction system focuses on insulation and thermal inertia. For the main ،use and guests, the metal roof with insulation is supported by a glued laminated wooden structure and 30 cm rammed earth walls. For the shed, which serves as a tool and laundry ،e, resource economy was prioritized, using panel slabs and exposed concrete structure on conventional masonry walls, with closure using local ceramic brick cobogós.
The sewage treatment system is ecological, using an eva،ranspiration basin with banana trees that evaporate the water purified by bacteria. Rainwater is infiltrated back into the ground to replenish the groundwater.
The entire project was designed to minimize impact on the landscape, whether through the use of excavated soil to build the rammed earth walls or the c،ice of sustainably sourced wood. The simplicity of the materials, left in their raw state, aims to save resources and allows for a reconnection with the matter that composes the ،e.
