Designed to welcome refugees and aid their social reintegration, the project includes 32 houses and a Community Center offering Portuguese classes, document assistance, medical consultations, and more. The architecture focuses on reducing energy and water costs, incorporating food production spaces, and using construction methods that involve local labor. High-quality living spaces are essential for effectively receiving refugees.
Given the challenges surrounding the topic, the project carries significant symbolic meaning. The white houses symbolize peace, with their illuminated windows resembling candles of hope. In contrast, the Community Center, with its vibrant colors, reflects the diversity of the ethnicities the project aims to welcome. The lush vegetation throughout the area enhances human and spatial interaction, creating a welcoming and engaging environment.
