这个过程是从研究附近地区的组织开始的。在附近的主要城镇里，有大量19世纪以来的私人住宅，虽然在巴西，但仍采用诺曼德风格。建筑是关于处理一个现有的本地“欧洲借来的”风格，并引入了一个当代的吸引力，除了真实性。

The process began by studying the built tissue of the vicinity areas. In the main town nearby lie a large number of private houses from the 19th century, that although being in Brazil, they follow a Normand style. Architecture was about dealing with an existing local “European borrowed” styling and to introduce a contemporary appeal besides authenticity.

另一方面，建筑群的整体设计是围绕这一理念展开的，它将所有者回收的木材收藏与优美的环境完美地结合在一起。客户花了很多年的时间从不同的拆迁源中抢救和收集美丽而稀有的木材元素，如横梁、柱子和宴会厅，想让他们在后来成为这个项目的建筑中获得新的生命。超过250立方米的旧木片(有些可以追溯到120多年前)被重复使用在地板、门和结构构件上，证明了木材作为一种建筑材料的惊人耐用性。

On the other hand, the whole design of the complex was developed around the concept of elegantly combine the owner’s reclaimed wood collection with the beautiful environment. The client spent many years rescuing and collecting from different demolition sources beautiful and rare wood elements such as beams, columns and parquets, with the idea to give them a new life in what then became the buildings that compose this project. More than 250 cubic meters of old wooden pieces (some dating from more than 120 years ago) were reused on floors, doors and structural elements, proving the amazing durability of wood as a construction material.

植物学的建筑提出了这样的经验：把木结构放在它的原材料的心脏来源：森林。

Botanique’s architecture proposes then, the experience of having a wood construction placed in the heart’s source of its raw material: the forest.

该建筑群由一座主建筑组成，其中包括六间客房、一家餐厅和一个水疗中心。从这座建筑中分离出来的11座别墅被设计成一系列相互连接的景观、卧室、壁炉和迷人的浴室，为一系列的体验提供了连续性。

The complex consists of a main building containing six rooms, a restaurant and a spa. Detached from this building eleven villas were designed as a series of connected views, bedrooms, fireplaces and charming bathrooms providing continuity to a sequence of experiences.

 Floor Plan

主楼的设计重点是协调漂浮在巨大玻璃正面上的倾斜屋顶，创造好玩的不对称，并混合当地的石头和木材等乡土材料。一个真正独特的风格出现了大量的石头，高耸的玻璃正面，巧克力色板岩和旧的再生木柱和梁结合在一起。

The main building’s design was focused on harmonizing pitched roofs floating over monumental glass facade, creating playful asymmetries and mixing vernacular materials such as local stone and wood. A truly unique style emerged as large volumes of stone, towering glass facade, chocolate colored slate and the old reclaimed wood pillars and beams combined among themselves.

粗糙的木材与其拧结的美被刻意暴露，超越了他们的自然结构功能，但成为一个关键要素的美学的建筑和内部建筑。当遇到一个复杂的木结构，并在木材工程专业顾问附近工作时，技术和巧妙的解决方案出现了。这一事实也确实成为(并丰富)了该项目的美学。

The beauty of the rough wood with its screwed junctions was deliberately exposed, going beyond their natural structural function but becoming a key element of the aesthetics of the building and of the interior architecture. When confronted to solve a complex wooden structure, and working close to wood engineering specialized consultants, technical and ingenious solutions appeared. This fact indeed became (and enriched) the aesthetics of the project as well.

 Floor Plan

在别墅的概念中，它的目的是最大限度地利用每一个个体植入，创造所有不同的计划，但给予他们一个共同的身份在同一时间。基本上，我们的定位别墅考虑到他们的可及性，并在某种程度上，他们不会干扰网站的现有地形。

In the villas conception it was intended to take the maximum advantage of each individual implantation, creating all different plans but giving them a common identity at the same time. Basically we positioned the villas considering their accessibility and in a way that they would not interfere on the site’s existing topography.

巨大的石头有助于保持温暖的感觉，当与木材结合，保持主要的元素在一个平静的调色板，以细微的黄色为基础。因此，周围森林的绿色是唯一的颜色，被允许并列在天然的黄色石头和木材色调包围的建筑物。由于巨大的玻璃正面的轻盈和透明，这个自然绿色的背景完成了室内设计，就像它构成了外部景观一样美丽。

The enormous stones contributed to keep the warm feeling when combined with the wood, keeping the main elements within a calm colour palette based in nuances of yellow. So the green of the surrounding forest was the only color allowed to be juxtaposed onto the natural yellowish stone and wood tones that enveloped the building. Due to the lightness and transparency of the monumental glass facade, this natural green backdrop completed the interior design just as beautifully as it composed the exterior views.
