AMAZON FACE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH BASE – Amazonas, Brazil
Located 80 km from Manaus, this vertically designed scientific research base adopts concepts of passive sustainability. The living areas, with varying heights, minimize deforestation and respect the surrounding forest, providing connections with the forest at various heights.
With a prefabricated structure produced in Manaus, the clean construction will generate little waste. The minimal foundation minimized impact on the soil and tree roots, preserving the integrity of the forest.
The brushed and polished aluminum reflects the vegetation, subtly blending the house into the trees. The project's rotation allows for an alternation between indoor and outdoor spaces, fostering social interaction and a unique experience with nature.
