In 2021 we were offered the opportunity to create a marina for Içara Farm, a condominium at Lake Furnas in Capitólio, Minas Gerais. During the study phase of this project, we noticed that most of these kinds of installations consist of big rectangular shapes, grey and closed off, which visually pollute the landscape. We decided to go against that standard and find solutions to obtain as little visual interference as possible.
We then developed a project that follows the local topography, with open spaces, a berth, two big hangars for vessels, a maintenance area, a nautical goods shop and a central social space.
As a protection for the whole building, we thought of an aerodynamically shaped roof composed of metallic structure, trapezoidal sandwich panel roof tiles made of aluminum, and details in wood. The innovative aspect here are the lines that communicate with the landscape.
