Framed by the Serra do Mar, and the Atlantic Ocean, Itaguá beach forms, together with Cruzeiro beach, the Ubatuba bay. The scenery is always dazzling. From the beach, the sight of the mountains of the northern region, in diverse hues of green, is due to a variation in the distances. Even in pale, cloudy days, their beauty is admirable. In clear nights, the spectator is gifted with the moon rising, glorious, over the sea. The tranquility of its streets and the proximity to downtown collaborate for Itagua to be considered the best residential neighborhood of Ubatuba.
Latitude Vinte Três is an example of good architecture and the application of sustainable goals. With simple solutions, that respects the surroundings, the undertaking uses “green architecture” from the project to the conclusion of the works, and also extends to the condominium’s daily routines.
L23 was projected by the Ito Ventura Arquitetura e Urbanismo Studio, and the landscape design is signed by Tal Quin Tal Arquitetura da Paisagem. These businesses share our same values, believing in the importance of an environmental conciousness, and promoting a healthy interaction of man with nature. Water is a fundamental element, running through the entire project, from the Nacentes Square to the Caminho do Mar Square, from where it returns to its cycle.
The apartments are surrounded by balconies that guarantee privacy and graduate insolation, providing just the right amount of light and heat. The entire project is based on a detailed study of solar orientation, natural lighting and ventilation, incorporating concepts from bioclimatic architecture, which focuses on proportioning internal environmental comfort and energetic efficiency.
The understanding of solar trajectories indicates the areas which receive more and less solar radiation, and defines the position of the aquatic park and other sectors. Natural lighting is controlled through openings, and their use acknowledges that Brazil is a tropical country, therefore, it requires care as not to create areas under the greenhouse effect.
Natural ventilation is achieved through openings, inducing cross-ventilation. The use of these strategies helps minimize the use of artificial interior cooling systems, such as air-conditioning, thus attaining energetic efficiency. The condominium project also worries about another fundamental item, accessibility, which is guaranteed to all, no exceptions.
