RK House 2020 project Mila Lima type academic location Niterói, RJ - Brazil area 364 m² instructor Marilia Fontenelle The RK House was created for a family of four. The concept is the exploitation of the winds and the view of the city of Rio de Janeiro. To achieve this, the volume was designed with big openings on opposite facades, increasing the relationship between the inside and the outside environment while promoting cross ventilation. Due to the region’s hot climate, the openings were protected by the roof’s long eaves and the pivoting timber panels, which also allow user customization. With these elements, the building has reduced solar exposure and improved exploitation of the natural ventilation. The material’s selection focused on reducing the building’s carbon footprint and contributing to thermal comfort. The compressed earth block was used on the walls and was painted in a light color to reduce the absorption of the solar heat. The doors and windows were made of timber. The roof is composed of a thermoacoustic lightweight material that hinders heat transfer to the inside.

Sub_pavilion 2021 project Anastasia Andyuseva, Bruna Macciantelli, Larrissa Dias, Mila Lima e Simruy Baygul type academic location Krasnoyarsk, Siberia - Russia prize 1st place of the Beuth University Summer School ARS 21 area 200 m² instructor Mehmet Koray Pekericli role 3D modeling, 2D graphic drawings, design conception The project is a climate-adaptive building located inside the Siberia Federal University’s campus. Internally, it has a cafe and an exhibition space, while on the outside, there are tables to be used in the spring/summer. The building was designed with passive and active strategies. The selection of materials was based on their low carbon emission rate and the potential to increase the building’s performance. The building is semi-buried, to reduce heat loss, and the roof is composed of a green insulated roof and a solar chimney, that brings natural lighting to the inside. All windows have triple-glazed glass to avoid heat loss from the openings. There are two systems to generate energy, one is the Pavegen, a technological floor tile that produces energy from steps on its surface, and the other is the wind turbines, positioned at the top of the nearby building that has a better wind capture due to its height.

AMA 2021 project
Amanda Narrciso, Angelo Barbosa e Mila Lima
location Rio de Janeiro, RJ - Brazil size 4370 m² instructor Gerônimo Leitão role 3D modeling, 2D graphic drawings, design conception, rendering The project is a social housing building located in downtown Rio de Janeiro. The concept is the integration between residents, promoted by the communal spaces and the pathways that connect the volumes. In total, there are 5 volumes. On the ground floor, there are communal external and internal areas for multiple uses, such as the square and the party room. On the upper floors, there are the apartments, that vary in number of bedrooms from 1 to 3. In volumes 1 and 5, there are units with 1 and 3 bedrooms. In volumes 2, 3, and 4, units with 2 bedrooms, although in volume 3 the units are exclusively for the disabled. Besides the connections inside the buildings, the facades turned to the street have small shops on the ground floor to work as an alternative job option for residents (as owners), and as an active façade to integrate with the neighborhood.

Bioclimatic and Sustainable Student Housing to UFF 2022
project Mila Lima type academic (final thesis) location Niterói, RJ - Brazil area 10.730 m² instructor Ricarda Tavares The student housing project was developed based on bioclimatic and sustainable approaches, to guarantee fewer unequal conditions at the university, and essentially, a better quality of life for students during their academic journey. As the project’s structural axis, there is the idea of a connection, between dwellers, spaces, and the external environment. The centrality concept was incorporated to establish distance between the building and the university campus, with its geometry and functionalities turned to its interior, promoting the feeling of shelter. As the materialization of these concepts, 7 volumes were created, with 87 apartments (252 vacancies) with varied typologies. The bioclimatic design and sustainability guided the solutions and the construction techniques, such as the building configuration with different angles and heights between the volumes to allow better use of natural ventilation and the reduction of solar exposure. The facades more exposed to sunlight were protected with movable shutters, and the balconies function as eaves for shading. As complementary solutions: the thermoacoustic roof, with the installation of photovoltaic panels; the rainwater storage system and the reuse of water from the laundries; the internal walls of drywalls and the external walls of compressed earth blocks, some composing panels and functioning as ‘cobogós’.
