Aroeira Hotel

Applied with insertion in an architectural structure in conventional reinforced concrete, the wooden pieces that "inhabit" the various facades of the building offers a more organic expression, seeking a material relationship with the surrounding natural environment. On the fronts of the rooms, separating vertical planes were placed, in wooden slats, which together create a rhythm of striking color and texture, a "wooden image" embedded perpendicularly, in the thin line of concrete "boxes". Wood assumes a clearly ornamental role in this work, in addition to its natural functionality, and also the symbolic role of a "desire for respect/environmental dialogue", for its sustainable nature.
