About the project

Rio Acima’ SPA

The recreation block of Sítio Rio Acima is the anchoring element of the project. Its roof establishes a square at a mid-level between the existing pool, the main house, and the caretaker’s house. The proposed building would allow the removal of the existing kiosk and the proper release of the edge of the adjacent stream. The vaulted roof made of ceramic bricks echoes the annex of the main house and reinforces the sense of architectural unity in the intervention. The shadow projected by the eave onto the cylindrical volume of the bathrooms recomposes, in light, the theme of the arch that permeates the project.
