Haras DOM was designed to serve a family that practices jumping and carriage driving. Designed as a complete equestrian structure, which allows everything – from raising foals to practicing these sports at a high level – it focuses on the well-being of the animals that live there. Slightly hilly and without abrupt differences in level, the topography of the site dictated the positioning of all built volumes which, in turn, dictated the flow of animals, cars, and trucks. Employee houses were strategically positioned at the highest level and close to the main entrance, allowing general visibility of the property and access control.
At the other extreme, at an intermediate level, there is the volume of the pavilion and its annexes, such as the round pen, manure pit, roughage deposits, and veterinary room. As a space with greater permanence and flow, it has a privileged view and privacy, an important demand from customers. The central and lowest point of the land houses the large high-performance track, machinery garage, and two maternity stalls with individual paddocks. The entire property is connected not only by the numerous release paddocks, spread throughout the area, but also by the lane specifically designed for the practice of carriage driving.
