Large packs of llamas and alpacas, originally from the Andean region of Peru, have recently been displaced around various regions of the globe to face adverse climates. In response to the growing stress and hyperthermia that llamas and alpacas endure due to excessive heat and humidity of the Southern US region, Project Llama seeks to provide a shelter for these displaced animals that find themselves battling for survival in Seguin, Texas. This architectural intervention is successful in creating a new habitat that features abundant cooling techniques proven to be effective. Inspired by the vernacular hacienda-style architecture of the South, the building is able to generate a microclimate through passive cooling system composed of thick clay walls for insulation, high ceilings, small louvered windows and rotating doors allowing for cross-ventilation. The lush vegetation, interior courtyard with a pool, drinking and shearing stations also directly benefit these animals.
