Damha Golf Club

Located in São Carlos, about 230 km from São Paulo, was installed a golf course that quickly became one of the top ten in Latin America. The desing of its headquarter had some assumptions, the use of wood as structure. Were mostly reused old wood, mainly from coffee bins that were been demolished. The project was idealized from some premises, like the work area as a local learning, like a carpentry school, so that the carpenters could learn the techniques and spreading tehm through other works. The proposal was to resume techniques into desuse like the rabbets of the japanese architecture, the muxarabis of the colonial architecture and the wooden liners like beehive to permit best ventilation and lighting of the corridors (Idea removed from the arabian markets). In the project was tried to optimize the performance thermal, lighting and energetic of the construction, like: volumetry of the building, orientation of teh facades, position and shading of the windows, construction systems of walls and coverages, surface colors exposed to the sun, etc. Was made the use of architectural details like brises (muxarabis) and sealing elements and liner (like beehive), allowing cruzade ventilation.
