HIPICA

The project of the Brazilian (Equestrian )Society - HIPICA gives life to the space for indoor competitions in the area of ​​the second arena. All elements have very well defined functions.   Sun protection louvers allow for greater ventilation in the environment and skylights facilitating the entry of natural light while the cover allows a perfect thermal-acoustic insulation, besides the photovoltaic plates, which provide 80% of the energy needed for the club.   The concept of existing sustainability is present once again in all stages of the work. Low impact on the neighborhood and the environment during the work. We opted for the use of high durability materials and the use of natural light. Currently the project has the largest solar energy capture coverage in Rio de Janeiro. A fast work, clean and without waste. Completed in just over four months.   The new intervention is integrated with the beautiful pre-existing architectural ensemble, while maintaining a harmonious relationship with its neighbors: Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and the slope of Tijuca National Park.
