The basis of this project was to design a space for temporary occupation that environmentally corresponds to the needs of its climate. Ultimately, I designed for the hot-humid climate of the Amazon Rainforest near Manaus, Brazil. The materiality and vernacular architecture was specifically chosen to fit the criterea of a hot-humid climate. A part from the technical aspects, creating a unique atmosphere was essential to the project. Therefore, having a net-like hammock built into the floor of the structure provides the user to experience a rare moment within the jungle.
