Rosita Orchid House / Jayme Bernardo Arquitetura

+ 21

Text description provided by the architects. In addition to meeting a local commercial demand, the Orquidaria addresses several urban issues across different scales. By revitalizing the site and transforming a former urban void into a gathering place, concerns regarding insecurity and vulnerability have been resolved. Because the building offers physical and visual permeability through its gardens and wide-open areas, it invites pedestrians in and dispels the sense of insecurity of both the street and the permanent environmental protection area at the rear of the property.
