Ini 45 

Ini (tupi-guaraní) - the hammock, the stretcher, the thread, the line

A cottage thought as ini, adaptable in a simple and inventive way to different kinds of environments; Ini offers a place to rest. With 45m², the project explores alternative construction solutions: the external walls are made of rammed earth, with an old tecnique called Taipa de Pilão. They close the perimeter with four equal "L" shapes leaving space for two doors and three windows.

The cottage is devided in two cores: living room with kitchen; and bedroom with bathroom. The internal partitions are made of dry-walls with wooden frames. The mono-pitched roof and single gutter are structured by wooden beams supported by the external walls.
