Casa Tarumã位于马瑙斯市一个流入Tarumã河的小湖附近，它的设计基于几个被动的可持续发展原则，以确保用户的热舒适度：充分的安装、宽大的屋檐、尺寸和方向性的开口，以最大化交叉通风，以及保护当地的生态体系。
Located near a small lake that flows into the Tarumã River, in the city of Manaus, Casa Tarumã was designed based on several principles of passive sustainability to ensure the thermal comfort of its users: adequate installation, generous eaves, dimensioning, and orientation openings to maximize cross-ventilation, as well as the preservation of local ecological systems.
为了保护大部分的森林并尽量减少森林的砍伐，主要的建筑策略是将主要的体量插入倾斜的土地中，颠覆了典型的住房类型学。在Casa Tarumã，房间位于下层，室内生活空间、室外座位和游泳池位于上层。
To preserve a large part of the forest and minimize deforestation, the main architectural strategy was to insert the main volume in a cut through the sloping land, inverting the typical housing typology. At Casa Tarumã, the rooms are located on the lower floor and the indoor living spaces, the outdoor seating, and the pool are located on the upper floor.
为了优化外部和内部空间之间的关系，并优化对气候因素的暴露，房子被分为两个体量：一个纵向体量和一个小塔体量，可通过狭窄的人行道进入。狭长的体量容纳了需要防晒和防雨的功能，如客厅、餐厅和套房，而塔楼体量容纳了不需要防晒的功能，如储藏室、下层的洗衣设施和上层的游泳池和观景平台。
In order to optimize the relationship between external and internal spaces and to optimize exposure to climatic factors, the house was divided into two volumes: a longitudinal one and a small tower volume, accessible by narrow walkways. The slender volume houses functions that need to be protected from the sun and rain, such as the living room, dining room, and suites, while the tower volume houses functions that do not need to be protected from the sun, such as the storage room, the laundry facilities on the lower floor and the pool and viewing platform on the upper floor.
作为一个独立于房屋其他部分的结构，主体量的皮质钢屋顶有两个坡度，后部有一个通风口，允许风的结果，并在屋顶和冷却环境之间创造一个气垫，使房屋上层的生活空间有一个良好的热舒适性。屋顶在太阳落山的一侧有一个垂直的平面，以更好地保护赤道的阳光和房屋的隐私。主体空间的宽度减少是为了确保所有环境下的交叉通风。通过两边的推拉窗，上层的玻璃客厅可以与有顶的客厅、游泳池和大自然完全融合。
Conceived as an independent structure from the rest of the house, the corten steel roof of the main volume features 2 pitches with an air draft at the rear, allowing the fruition of the winds and the creation of an air mattress between the roof and the cooled environments, allowing for a good thermal comfort of the living space of the house’s upper floor. The roof received a vertical plane on the setting sun side for greater protection from the equatorial sun and privacy of the house. The reduced width of the main volume was planned to ensure cross ventilation in all environments. With its sliding windows on two sides, the glazed living room on the upper floor allows for total integration with the covered living room, the pool, and nature.
用阿曼多-德-霍兰达的话说，这个项目的主要目标是创造 “一个阴凉、开放、连续、有活力、欢迎和参与的建筑，通过使我们与热带环境和谐相处，鼓励我们完全生活在其中”。
To paraphrase Armando de Holanda, this project’s main goal was to create “a shady, open, continuous, vigorous, welcoming and involving architecture which, by putting us in harmony with the tropical environment, encourages us to live in it fully.”
