We were challenged to design a structure for CASACOR Minas Gerais that could be dismantled and later reassembled in Lapinha da Serra, where it would be used for accommodation. The constructive reasoning guided the project: we attached two container modules laterally and took advantage of the characteristics of this system, exposing the industrialized construction components without camouflage. In the Lapinha Studio, we concentrated all the hydraulic systems on one wall, creating the infrastructural module. This design strategy reduced costs and freed up the rest of the space. Therefore, the other container serves as a flexible, indeterminate module—a free plane—that, in this edition, houses the furniture of the Lapinha Studio. More than just a physical space, we present an idea—a prototype to be expanded, replicated, and implemented in other contexts. Different arrangements of containers create different spaces for various lives to unfold there. Inside, we aimed to highlight the meeting point between the containers to emphasize the construction system itself. The materials differentiate the infrastructural module from the flexible one. The colors bring the natural landscape of the next location of deployment, Lapinha da Serra, inside this refuge.
