CITY of
BOA VISTA
Part of this project was inspired by a hotel I stayed in Miami
Beach, called Beachcomber Hotel, back in the 80’s, when I
was a kid. The hotel layout, as in the pictures bellow, had a
long balcony serving as access to the apartments. and most
of the apartments were turned to the pool.
SITE LOCATION
For privacy issues the configuration had to be inverted,
placing the original long balcony to the opposite side of the
pool, and creating private balconies facing the pool on each
apartment.
The site location is in downtown of Boa Vista, iin a residential
neighborhood. It’s important to know that Boa Vista has a
predominantly flat relief and the water table level is, in general,
shallow. The climate is tropical with a significative pluviosity
and the weather is really warm, reaching almost 40
degrees Celsius.

From the updated layout, the logo and the texture for the
muxarabi (bellow) were created. The blue color of the pool
was changed to green to represent the rivers and the nature.
