One of the objectives was to invite the user to explore the exteriors to become aware of the environment and appreciate the surrounding views.
An L-shaped volume houses the social spaces, and based on this function, a refined distribution, and its opening to the outside. The second block contains the rest areas and is perceived as a refuge that emerges from the site.
The interior spaces stand out using the wood and texture of the walls, integrating furniture and related decoration to generate a cozy and warm atmosphere. Outside, the project explores a slight contrast and harmony between its natural and built elements
