Devil´s Throat Shelter

This shelter was designed based in the energy of the Iguazú Falls. The main idea was to create a place that allows studying and resting, and that it´s well integrated to the location by the use of the materials. The walls, floor and roof are made of the same wood that prevails in the Iguazú Park. The stones that we can find in the Waterfalls was also used in the desk. The glass works as an acustic insulating but still allows a great view intregrating it to the landscape. The staired shape roof lets the light come in but protects it from the sun. The inclinated window was intended to take advantage of the great view of the Devil´s Throat, the most important waterfalls of South America, giving the sensation of being part of the waterfall itself.
