Casa Pequi is located in the rural area of ​​Palmas, with Serra do Lajeado as its backyard.On a plot of 13x60, the house seeks a greater relationship with the surroundings through a large patio that opens with views of the mountains and from wherever you are in the building the mountains can be seen.

The building fits very well into the landscape due to its simple and delicate shape that does not try to compete for attention with the landscape but rather be part of it, which in this case is the mountains in the background.
With glass panels that go up to the roof on both sides, we achieve greater visual permeability, which gives the impression of the house being more integrated with the vegetation.

The house is designed in two blocks that are joined by a corridor that cuts from the intimate area at the beginning of the land to the social area at the back of the land. The entire interior is open to a central grassy courtyard with aluminum frames with 45° slits.
which allows wind to enter when the door is closed. In the social area we have enough openness to enhance the view from the house to the mountains in the background.

One of the biggest challenges of designing for the city of Palmas is the climate issue, which is why the Pequi house was designed and designed to serve the family that lives there in the best possible way during warmer times of the year.
The house is very bright and ventilated, as the house is very open we are able to have cross ventilation and the winds can also escape through the upper windows near the thermoacoustic sandwich tile roof, thus releasing hot air.

The sandwich tiles further enhance thermal comfort within the building and help with the acoustic issue along with the PVC frames used, as the house is in a condominium far from the city, acoustics are not a problem.
since what you hear a lot there are birds.

We use a metal structure as it is quicker and cleaner to install. The bricks are made of concrete, which we leave exposed to save on finishes and because it is a material that heats up in environments where the sun is west and north.they hit the walls, thermal insulation was applied to the walls.

Another element we used was the cobogó, which allows the wind to pass through and makes it difficult for the sun to enter, allowing only lighting to enter. We use it to make a connection between the bedroom block and the social area block.
