Manga rosa: anteprojeto de uma pousada boutique

Abstract

This work presents the architectural design of a boutique inn located in the municipality of São Vicente, in the Seridó region of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, focusing on the integration of comfort, cultural identity, and sensory experience. The proposal seeks to enhance local tourism through an architectural approach that values the territory, its vernacular elements, and the region's landscape potential. The theoretical framework is based on technical literature on hospitality architecture, contemporary design practices, and the cultural identity of Seridó. The methodology is structured in two phases: the theoretical phase, which includes bibliographic research, case study analysis, characterization of the study area, and identification of physical, environmental, social, and legal constraints; and the design phase, which involves the development of the architectural program, functional diagrams, implementation guidelines, and architectural concept. As a result, the project presents a context-sensitive architectural solution that is technically feasible and committed to experiential tourism and the appreciation of regional heritage.
