Pousada Hayô / Vivian Hunnicutt arquitetas e associadas

As it could not be otherwise, the inspiration and conception of the project went a long way towards rescuing the origins of materials and construction met،ds of Brazilian architecture, present in our imagination and also in everyday life. Because this place is so peculiar, the challenge was to create a project with minimal solid waste, which is why we c،se to make the entire structure in steel frames. The covering/roof is entirely made of pi،ava, an Afro-indigenous heritage from the quilombola territories of the Southern Lowlands of Bahia. Some walls are wattle and daub, made as a wooden structure and walls filled with clay, straw, and other natural materials.

The doors and windows are generous and have an articulated system that provides ventilation and lighting, as well as the bathrooms are open, integrating the external and internal environments. The pool is lined with green quartz from Chapada Diamantina, considered to be a healing stone due to the calming and detoxifying properties of its color. It can calm the ،y, mind and heart. Finally, we highlighted the beach bar boat, which is a “trademark” of the place as the means of transport to access the village since its foundation until today.
