几年前,住在塞拉山脚下的猴子失踪了。听说是由于据说在灵长类动物家族中传播的黄热病。我不知道,我们很伤心。

A few years ago the monkeys that lived at the foot of Serra disappeared. It was told that it was due to yellow fever that supposedly spread among the primate families. I don’t know, we were very sad.

今年年初,在我们开始考虑建造一座与大树相连的房子的那一天,他们出现了。一家卷尾猴,一个完整的部落! 他们回来了,并教会了我们为什么要做这个项目、在哪里做、怎么做的方法。猴屋的灵感来自于森林的垂直性,在接近树峰的可能性,以一种温和而微妙的方式,与动植物王国的无数居民联系在一起。

At the beginning of this year, the day we started thinking about a house that connects to the magnitude of the trees, there they appeared. A family of Capuchin Monkeys, a complete tribe! They were back and taught us the way of why, where, and how to do the project. The Monkey House was inspired by the verticality of the forest, in the possibility of approaching the crests of the trees, in a gentle and subtle way, connecting with its countless inhabitants of the kingdom of flora and fauna.

猴屋的结构由相同外形的木质构件协同工作,并由镀锌皮和热声绝缘材料覆盖。猴屋被安装在一片次生林中,安装在树木之间,占地5m x 6m,因此对当地植被的干扰很小,总面积为86m2。森林的感知是垂直的。地平线是倒置的,顺着能量、物质和树木生长信息的流动,引导我们寻找能量、阳光。

Monkey House structure works synergistically between wooden components all of the same profile, covered by galvalume skin and thermoacoustic insulation. Monkey House was assembled in an area of secondary forest, installed between trees, occupying a small area of 5m x 6m, thus creating zero interference in the local vegetation with a total area of 86m2. The perception of the forest is vertical. The horizon is inverted, following the flow of energy, matter, and information on the growth of trees to lead us in the search for energy, sunlight.

大自然中已经存在最好的设计方案。38亿年来,生命在智慧和简单中创造了优雅的解决方案。为了设计 “猴屋 “的支撑结构,我们在观察哪些植物更适应土地的地形,采取哪些策略让高度生长稳定。图皮族的juçara或içara(Euterpe edulis)是大西洋森林的一种特有棕榈,它的结构是通过支撑根来实现的,它能适应下坡地形,并将动态重量分布在多个矢量上,以确保细而高的茎秆的稳定性。

The best design solutions already exist in Nature. For 3.8 billion years, life creates elegant solutions in intelligence and simplicity. In order to design the support structure of the Monkey House, we were observing which plants were better adapted to the topography of the land and which strategies were adopted to allow stability in height growth. The juçara or içara (Euterpe edulis) in Tupi, is an endemic palm of the Atlantic Forest which is structured through props roots, adapting itself to the downhill terrain and distributing the dynamic weight on multiple vectors ensuring stability for the thin and very tall stalk.

对于猴屋项目,我们实施了同样的策略,创造了一系列细而密的支柱,灵感来自于juçara棕榈根的安息日形态,从而确保了这种垂直类型结构的稳定性。

For the Monkey House project, we implemented the same strategy, creating a series of thin and dense pillars, inspired by the Adventist morphology of the juçara palm roots, thus ensuring stability in this vertical typology construction.

当我们考虑景观设计时,声明是用当地特有的植物进行完整的重新造林,我们认为这是巴西和全世界的优先事项。同时,在房子周围进行当地植物的生长,它提出了一种房子和人类沉浸在野外的状态。

When we thought about the landscape design the statement was the complete reforestation with endemic plants, which we consider is a priority in Brazil and worldwide. As well, conducting local plants’ growth around the house, it proposes a state of immersion of the house and the humans into the wild.

Casa Macaco的顶层是一个天文台。一个相遇和重逢的地方,观察我们内心和外部的自然,以一种再生的方式学习和联系。

The top floor of Casa Macaco is an observatory. A place of encounter and reunion, to observe Nature outside and inside us, to learn and relate in a regenerative way.
