About Casa Acqua منزل سكني
"كازا أكوا" منزل سكني شُيّد في بيلو هوريزونتي بالبرازيل. يستلهم المخطط طرز المساكن الرومانية القديمة، حيث تتوزع أربع وحدات حول فناء داخلي. ويحيط بالفناء مسطحات مائية عاكسة تستحضر صورة النافورة المركزية. جميع الوحدات مفتوحة بالكامل لتتيح التهوية الطبيعية والإضاءة النهارية، ما يُغني عن الحاجة إلى تكييف الهواء. وتوفّر المظلات الرأسية وحواجز الريح الخصوصية والحماية من الشمس والمطر والحشرات والرياح القوية. وقد ساهمت الوحدات مسبقة الصنع في تقليص زمن التشييد والحد من الهدر. وتبلغ المساحة الإجمالية مئتين وعشرة أمتار مربعة.

Architecture is deeply involved in this process, as the transformation of the built environment and the construction industry are key to the way we live. Casa Acqua is a way to provide inspiration and tools for anyone in a country with dry tropical climate!
- Inspiration
- Casa Acqua was conceptualized in the same guidelines as the first Roman dwellings, those one had an O shaped floor plan with an inner courtyard allowing the visual integration of all spaces.
This typology was suitable for current times to Casa Acqua using four modules individualized with an inner courtyard, surrounded by water mirrors to symbolize the central fountain! All modules are fully open to ensure the use of ventilation and natural lighting. Vertical awnings were used for privacy. - Project Duration
- The project started in May 2021 and the construction finished in September 2021 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
- Operation Flow
- This project was created for a young couple to live, in times of a pandemic, in full contact with nature, full of light and natural ventilation, in Brazil!
