Japiim
Location: Tumbira Region, Amazon Forest - Brazil
“How can we conceive an architecture made from the forest, for the forest, that becomes part of the forest?”
In response to this central question, we arrived at the concept of the “nest,” evoking protection, hospitality, tranquility, and family, and the concept of the “path,” which explores community, shared experiences, forest trails, and the integration of people with nature.

Villa E, Amazon red clay Architecture.
Villa E is situated on the urban limits of the Pucallpa city and proposes a way of inhabiting the Amazon rooted in simplicity, efficiency, and respect for the territory, with the aim of integrating and becoming part of a greater ecosystem. Above all, its architecture serves as a bridge between the daily life of a family made up of two sub-units and the untamed nature that surrounds it, enhancing the richness of the landscape, and responding sensitively to the unique features of the site and the living patterns of its occupants.

Hoguera de Madera
Hoguera de Madera is conceived as a shelter for a family who chooses to rethink their conventional way of living within the city. This reflection leads them to seek an alternative lifestyle, envisioning a space integrated with nature—a place capable of renewing and enhancing their human and professional qualities.
Located 6 km from the city of Puyo, in the province of Pastaza (Ecuador), the house is immersed in a natural environment, set on the edge of a ravine and defined by a small river. This body of water becomes one of the natural elements guiding the project.

A series that expands longitudinally throughout a space, providing warmth and union, the avant-garde without forgetting tradition.
Amazonia is a return to the wild origin of natural wood, maintaining its noble, pure character and faithful to its essence, with its grain and knots that are so characteristic of wood. In addition, its minimum maintenance, resistance and durability are some of the advantages of dealing with our c... More
