Brazilian architect Laurent Troost has completed Casa da Sombra, a house with concrete walls designed to filter sunlight in Manaus, Brazil. Created in 2023, the design caters to a resident with photophobia, with gardens integrated into the structure to provide shading.
Located in the heart of Manaus, Brazil, the INGA Co-living project by designer Laurent Troost offers a new model of community living that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding nature.
This development, completed in 2022, features a mix of one-bedroom (43m2) and two-bedroom (52m2) community apartments designed to promote flexibility, cross-ventilation, and a sense of shared community spaces, including a collective laundry, vegetable garden, and deck with views of the nearby Teatro Amazonas.
