The Nau Royal building design was based upon very clearly assumptions: functional programing, simple and clear lines tipology, but with a strong formal expression, connection with its spectacular surroundings and sustainability. The party consideres the existing natural landscape and views as a key element to the project, therefore, adopting modern Brazilian architecture principles, such as the use of large openings protected by “brise-soleil balconies”, framing from one side of the building, the mountains covered by rain forest and from the opposite side, the Cambury beach and the Atlantic ocean.
Sustainable design aspects are also drivers for the project, such as: All rain and gray water collected, treated and re-used in the toilets flushes. Hot water is heated by a solar system. Natural light and natural ventilation to the public areas guarantee low energy consumption. All timber used is certified.
