Text description provided by the architects. Cabana Solena is located on a rural property in the countryside of Flores da Cunha/RS. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, customers idealized a place of refuge, which would allow a deep connection with nature. For that, the program was organized in two volumes.
The main volume, composed of a gable roof that goes to the ground and two glass panes, has a lower ceiling height on its sides, reinforcing the feeling of coziness. In it, the bed, a small living space, the wood-burning heater and the kitchen counter are arranged. This volume has a skylight in one of its waters, allowing the user to see the sky both during the day and in the usually cold and starry nights.

© Geórgia L. ThoméWith the aim of maximizing the integration with the external space and with nature, the cabin does not have curtains or blinds. In it, changes in the weather condition or time of day are directly observed, as if the outside were part of the internal environment with its colors, sounds and aspects.

With two bonus point losses in the opening two rounds of the Americas Rugby Championship
the Tupis were tipped by many to suffer big losses
To the credit of the team and tournament organizers the Brazilians have proven more than worthy of their place in the competition
This Saturday’s away match is to be more difficult than the opening two fixtures
Neither Chile nor Uruguay have the calibre of a roster which Canada does and the North Americans performed very well at home first up against Los Teros
Brazil’s assignment will be the toughest yet and the Tupis will have to make due without David Harvey
The Australian flyhalf is the most notable absentee in the 26-man roster which is now training in the Vancouver area ahead of Saturday’s historic test match against Canada
In Harvey’s absence 19-year-old flyhalf Matheus Cruz has been selected for the first time
though the more experienced Lucas Duque is likely to move from scrumhalf to flyhalf to start the test
Second or back row Matheus Wolf and prop Jonatas Paulo are the only other players not to have featured in the opening two rounds of the Americas Rugby Championship
Wolf was involved in Brazil’s home series late last year against Germany while Paulo has been recalled after a lengthy absence to replace retiring Jardel Vettorato
The roster includes six players based outside of Brazil. Three play their rugby in Argentina and three in France. The match will be streamed live by Rugby Canada

At prop Vitor Ancina has been replaced by the massive figure of Caique Silva
while Gabriel Paganini covers lock and loose forward in place of Matheus Wolf
Flankers Cléber Dias and Mark Jackson are absent
replaced by newcomers André Arrude and Diego Lopez
Another new name is national u20 standout Robert Tenório who replaces Lucas Muller

Number 8 Nick Smith will captain Brazil in Saturday’s home international against Chile in São Paulo
The SPAC back-rower will have the honor of leading the team in a South American A Championship match at the Estadio Pacaembu
São Paulo’s stadium used for the 1950 FIFA World Cup
The fixture is to be a round two match in the South American Championship with Brazil looking to rebound from a convincing loss across town to Uruguay. The visiting Cóndores players are full of confidence, coming off a 68-07 home win against Paraguay last Saturday
The match will be vastly different for Chile whose home match was played at a park rather than a stadium
Against Brazil the local media will be there in force with Rede TV broadcasting the match live on free-to-air television
The match is to be the second between the countries this year
Earlier Chile escaped with a three point victory in the Americas Rugby Championship
The 25-22 result was Chile’s only highlight in an otherwise disappointing campaign
would go on to make history by beating the USA
thereby finishing ahead of Chile in the final standings
In seeking a win on Saturday Brazil has made five changes
Coming into the team to play on the left wing is Robert Tenório of São Paulo’s French club Pasteur
Santa Catarina winger Guilherme Coghetto also gets a start with last weeks’s starting 14 Laurent Bourda-Couhet moving to inside center
In the forwards there are three modifications
Australian Mark Jackson has been elevated to the run-on team
Jackson’s teammate from the Desterro club
Uruguayan Alejandro Longres will officiate the match

Where other squads have rely heavily on sevens specialists
Brazil’s entire roster are fully capped 15-a-side players with all expected to contend for spots in the Americas Rugby Championship following the conclusion of the two tournaments
In fact only Ariel Rodrigues and Roberto Tenório were not part of Tupis squad on their European Tour in November
though each featured in test matches earlier in 2017
Only four players return from the squad that competed in the Rio Olympics
and the Sancery twins Daniel and Felipe will be asked to play senior roles
Other notables include forwards André Arruda and Matheus Daniel
while versatile Lucas Muller was unlucky to miss out on Olympic selection
Brazil have named their teams for both the men’s and women’s brackets of the Rio Olympic 7s tournament next month
with the teams largely sticking to the groups that participated on the HSBC Sevens Series this season
The men have opted to name Lucas Duque skipper for the tournament
with the quicksilver halfback taking over duties from regular skipper Juliano Fiori
Otherwise the team shows only a pair of changes from the group that played in London
Arthur Bergo and Stefano Giantorno come in for Lucas Muller and youngster Thiago Evaristo
Included are several standouts from the Americas Rugby Championship including the Duque brothers and the Sancery twins
as well as versatile Franco-Brazilian Laurent Bourda-Couhet
On the women’s side there are four changes to the team that traveled to Langford in April
