"House Calumbi is located in the rural area of Lencois, in the Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, in a transitional territory between the cerrado and caatinga ecosystems."
"The landscape is characterized by hills, valleys, and vegetation adapted to the hot and dry climate."
"In this setting, where intense rains concentrate in a few months and give way to long periods of drought, the project adopted autonomous systems and strategies for the conscious use of water."
House Calumbi sits in the rural area of Lencois in Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, positioned in a transitional zone between cerrado and caatinga ecosystems. The site features hills, valleys, and vegetation adapted to hot, dry conditions. Climatic patterns concentrate intense rains into a few months followed by long drought periods. The design responds with autonomous systems and water-conscious strategies to ensure supply and resilience during dry months. Building placement and landscape consideration respond to topography and local ecology, prioritizing water capture, storage, and efficient use while respecting the arid-adapted vegetation and geomorphology of the region.
