With the premise of preserving the existing greenery and creating a compact and efficient residence, the office Laurent Troost Architectures designed the Casa Pupunha, located in a condominium in the western zone of Manaus, next to an area of permanent environmental protection. Its landscaping was crafted by Hana Eto Gall, conceived through a direct dialogue with the Amazonian landscape.

Campinarana House / Laurent Troost Architectures

Daniel Tapia — Fri, 12 Jul 2019 03:00:00 +0000

The Amazon, more than any other area on the planet, requires climate-appropriate architectural strategies. The natural and environmental conditions are extreme and the proximity of the equatorial zone requires an architecture oriented towards thermal comfort and "passive" sustainability, that is, adequate deployment, creation of protective eaves, dimensioning and orientation of the openings for cross-ventilation, as well as the preservation of local ecological systems. The preservation/valorization of Campinarana - Amazon forest type characterized by small trees, whose soil is shallow and clayey - was the starting point for the concept of the project.
