ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
Although the projection area of the property has not changed , it is a reform with expansion .
The coatings on the maintained walls are also related to the earth . Thus , an external layer of rammed earth was applied to the facades , with horizontal friezes and shades and textures similar to those of the ceramic block . Complementarily , the pre-existing internal walls were coated with natural components paint and earthy color .
In the midst of the complete transformation of the property , witnessed by the beams that cross the environments with their layout alien to the new uses , windows and doors were all redone . As usual in the Studio ’ s work , the sawmill brings together fixed panels with those that open , lift or shutters , depending on the surrounding occupation . But in Mãe Terra ’ s project , the windows also configure volumes that , standing out , signal the intention to bring the user closer to the tops of the numerous surrounding trees .
