about an optimistic shelter
This is a shelter for two optimistic inhabitants.Two inhabitants who see isolation as an intense experience from which they can benefit.
Two inhabitants who know each other.
Two inhabitants who do not know each other.
Inside the shelter, its inhabitants can isolate themselves because they view this as an opportunity to write, read, paint, train, work remotely, or simply do whatever they please now that they have the time.
It is a retreat from the city and its noise. A place for people who must escape urban life due to the pandemic in search of introspection. It is a shelter that prefers remote locations, settling in the Uruguayan hills.
The shelter isolates itself from crowds but not from its surroundings. Its environment becomes part of it.
Its occupants nostalgically celebrate this temporary retreat.
