Technical Innovation : In the geographical area where the camp is located, the Sierra del Perú, one of its most important constructive elements is its traditional Andean tile, which is why we chose to implement our Termoteja in the project, a thermal insulation panel with necessary skills in front of to the climatic conditions that the area presents, with an aesthetically similar appearance so as not to break with its typology. Also, to ensure the structural strength of the modules, we rely on a collaborating plate. The location of the modules adapts to the terrain conditions. The openings are implemented by studying all environmental considerations to control radiation and lighting in the interior spaces in order to provide comfort and comfort to its occupants.
