The Fogo Long Studio - Interior

The weather at the Fogo Island is characterized by its intense cold, strong winds and humidity. The project's closeness to the ocean, the scenic views, and the weather conditions through the seasons predisposed the design of the project : the central part of the project remains exposed, to capture sunlight in spring; the covered but open part of the project controls the amount of sunlight the project gets without jeopardizing the view; its narrow shape makes it more aerodynamic, as there are fewer surfaces opposing the wind that comes from the ocean; the choice of timber cladding to dress the facade is perfect for the salty and humid weather present on the island, as it doesn't corrode as easily as metal in those conditions.
