Casa Tamarindo: Anteprojeto de uma Residência Sustentável em Hidrolândia.

Abstract

This work aims to develop the Casa Tamarindo project, a sustainable single-family residence located in the municipality of Hidrolândia, Ceará, Brazil. The proposal arises from the need to reconcile architectural design with principles of environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and appreciation of local sociocultural characteristics. The research is grounded in the concepts of sustainable, bioclimatic, vernacular, and contemporary architecture, using them as a theoretical basis for establishing design guidelines suited to the semi-arid climate and the urban context of the region. Through the analysis of related studies, local data collection, and the application of passive construction strategies, the project seeks to promote an adaptive, efficient, and environmentally integrated architecture. The resulting proposal synthesizes theory and practice, presenting spatial solutions that emphasize thermal comfort, rational use of natural resources, and harmony between building and landscape. Thus, the study reinforces the importance of an architectural practice committed to context, contributing to the discussion on sustainable housing in small towns of the Brazilian Northeast.
