Eco-Conscious Brazilian Retreats

YVA Arquitetura is unveiling the new Guaju Pavilion, a sustainably designed retreat focusing on reducing environmental impact. This retreat, located in the Atlantic Forest, is characterized by its transparent structure and elevated base. This allows animals to move around and live underneath the cabin instead of restricting their movement for architectural development.

Architects have also stated that the surrounding trees did not have to be cut for the Pavillion's construction due to its unique shape and volume.

Internally, the Guaju Pavilion offers everything from a fitness room to a meditation and living space. Guests can relax in the large bathroom and adjacent bathtub or enjoy the fresh air and sounds of nature by opening the facility's many windows.
