Itambe is a house "suspended" in the air, as if it were floating among the treetops, the project was based on the need to bring the house inside the ravine considering a minimum support on the ground, it required a flying platform supported by a composite element called "tetrapod", which consists of 4 tubular steel elements that converge on a foundation block, supported by reinforced concrete piles to the strong soil of rock, this set of structural elements, give the sensation of floating allowing the growth of flora all around.
