Vacation Facilities – Francisco Conde Foundation / 1967
Itanhaém – São Paulo
Holiday Facilities to assist the employees of the National Credit Bank, the Credit Finance and Investment / Finance Company and the Cia. Mercantil F. Conde.
Located on urban land, near the beach, in the coastal town of Itanhaém, to serve the employees and their families, who mostly live far from the sea.
The conviviality, fundamental factor of a holiday colony, has led to the development of all social activities under one roof, without rigid divisions.
The solution of integrated spaces results in flexibility of use, retreating some, to the advance of others.
The definition of the living area and playroom is given by the level difference of 1m (one meter) in relation to the other floors, which extends to the exterior, characterizing also the pool area.
The service sector is geared towards an inner courtyard, which frees up all terrain for social and sporting activities.
The constant and torrential rains of summer justify the covered connection of all the blocks that make up the project.
The construction system chosen, as a matter of cost and construction time, was in pre-fabricated concrete panels, hollow, pre-cast concrete and ceramic bricks.
