Guapore House

Casa Guaporé is a wooden house on a lake taken over by tropical and creeper plants.


The lake is a former fish factory pond that is now being used for entertainment purposes. The house is thought of as an irrigated roof collecting the water in the center of the house as an artificial permanent “indoor” waterfall. The “architecturized” nature is giving an identity to the façade while protecting the open space area from the sunset. Lake and nature are thus entering the house as an extreme experience for users of this house.
