"Located in the city of Pelotas, in the extreme south of Brazil, Casa Pampa proposes a dialogue between the meeting southern and tropical cultures. The geographical proximity between Rs, Uruguay, and Argentina, the hostile climate, and the pastoral care forge common traces between these locations in the south of South America. The built form proposes opaque volumes, made of stone, concrete, and wood, which act as cores protected from the cold of the winter months. At the same time, glazed areas, protected by balconies in corten steel and wood, allow both the capture of the sun for the cold months, as well as shaded areas for integration with the outside and protection from the excessive heat of the hot months." #architecture: Rmk!
