Sometimes, the weather can be unpredictable in Springdale. During such periods, residents will not want to be caught unawares with any sudden temperature change. If the temperature begins to peak out of the blue, we expect our air conditioner to come to the rescue.

Residential › House. Renovation of an old Building that was completely demolished by the War in Syria. The idea of this project was to bring back life through architecture, thus the architect focused on a fresh tone accompanied with different shades of light colors.
The project is located in a very consolidated urban sector, on a busy street south of the city of Paraná. Initially, the place was an undeveloped and depopulated area in which a small temple was erected, with a gabled roof and side tower.

The house is built entirely of concrete with a deliberately indeterminate form with no clear geometric figure – powerful on the one hand but equally never challenging the centrality of the landscape.
