De Kuara Hospitium

Kuara creatum est pro iis qui quietem relaxationemque naturae integratam desiderant. Exemplum artis contemporaneae, culturae et gastronomiae in Brasilia. Propositum quod conceptum modernum architecturae Brasilianae condit. Refugium privatum, memoria identitatis Brasilianae evadans, commemorans pretiosissimum: natura Brasiliana opulenta, mater generosa, fundamenta prima vitae praebet, in fascinanti invitamento ad relationem saluberem cum mundo naturali, in reverentia et harmonia cum natura fundatam.

Post Designum

Fasciculus Nuntii

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: The architecture, thought primordially in establishing solid symbiosis with the richness of the reserve, in a vernacular and modern construction, also answers to the sophistication, essential to every refugee destined for leisure and resting. Therefore, the briefing asked for a modern and established project, which could underline the privilege of being constructed in a preserved rain forest area. This dialogue merges with architectural and interior details, that rescues the Brazilian bossa.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: The complexity demanded not just the rough work of experienced carpenters, but the creation of an entire workshop on site to optimize the job. Bamboo, natural fibers, straw, wicker, leather, Brazilian stones, and other handmade elements counterbalance with Florim stones, imported from Italy, used in floors and bathrooms, which despite presenting an industrialized production of the highest standard, still presents the sensation of natural rock, without the inconvenient of water infiltration.
Notulae: hotel, brazil, tropical, wood, sun, nature, bahia
Technologia Productionis: In the choosing of materials, it has become necessary to use diversity, in the search for interaction, with great focus in the beauty of wood, in its natural state, executed with perfection by carpenters, whom were disciples of the master Zanine Caldas. The work is abundant in the surfaces, such as floor and walls, as well as architectural elements like venetians, brise soleils, and standard panels, with species like cumaru, tatajuba, ipe and peroba.
Provocatio Designandi: This richness of memory and diversity could not be ignored, opting, thereby, for the preservation of all native vegetation, using the structure of the old hotel to build the new one on the same places as the old buildings. The landscape architecture takes that into account.
Investigatio: This lush nature is inserted on site, since way before the idea of an occupation. An organic composition, which main axis is the Mucuge river. The rain forest flourishes in conjunction with the mangue (a kind of swamp endemic for this region, which hosts a unique biome), between the famous cliffs of Arraial DAjuda. The 200 meters of beach take us to the unforgettable horizon offered by the Atlantic Ocean, on which, about 500 years ago, the portuguese caravelas came from the west, beginning a new phase on Brazilian history.
Inspiratio: Kuara, meaning sun for the indigenous Tupi-Guarani. The house of Tupan, the supreme god. Kuara Delivers, every day, energy, heat, life, all elements that make Bahia, the province on which the portuguese discoverers disembarked in Brazil. The Brazilian, indigenous at first, but not only, mixed through dozens of generations, in an ethnic pluralism, bringing an unique diversity to our people, strength in a fascinating narrative about the roots of this country.
Duratio Operis: The project started in Arraial DAjuda, Brazil, in 2010, and finished on site in 2017. The hotel inaugurated in the end of 2017.
Cursus Operationis: Privacy, intimacy, and silence were key words in the program of necessities. Also, the sounds from the waves and birds, the aroma of the vegetation and the sea, and of course the unforgettable views from the very preserved coastline, were treated as untouchable, and make the stay in Kuara not only a time of opportunity and relaxing, but active experience of contact with nature.
