The theme
of sustainability became mandatory today. Residential, commercial environments,
building sites of any scale must be sensitive not only to reuse, as well as the
adaptation of materials in use which until then was very different purposes for
the construction.
And it was
precisely in this spirit of recycling and reuse coupled with countless
aesthetic possibilities that this project was prepared.
Breaking
taboos representing the aesthetic beauty and the invention of Brazilian
architecture in structures that look so rude and impersonal, is one of the
factors that raise the subject to a Sustainability artistic status and
multiplied.
Using the
reuse in all its fullness was the intent of this residence that has system
collects rainwater for irrigation of gardens, use in toilets and the cooling
system. The energy used to pump this water in turn, is also achieved in a
sustainable manner by solar panels.
Through the
large glass area of the house, you get the largest possible amount of natural
light in environments that need it, while the use of Brise Soleil,
architectural element used widely in Brazilian modernism relieves dormitories
direct sunlight, so the brightness step into the environment so calculated and
comfortable.
The
appearance of concrete in construction was possible with the use of fiberglass
in an attempt to formalize the curves and the appearance of a modern residence.
With this job, it was possible to create a natural flow of hot air outside the
house, further easing the ambient temperature.
This
temperature is also reduced with a coating blanket of rock wool as insulation,
strategically located between the fiber and the structure of the container. The
use of rock wool in air conditioned environments allows a representative cost
savings of electric power and minimizes the occurrence of condensation along
the tiles when temperature inversions.
The
combination of technical challenges, highlights the aesthetic and creative
Brazilian identity of this project. Representing an architecture world judged
by a theme also consider, through an unusual structure.
Retraining
modernism in architecture, the modern adaptation of yesterday with today's
modern, explain that the idea of modernity is only possible nowadays through
respect for the environment and the intelligent use of natural resources and
present this idea in an artistic way innovative and highly feasible is what
characterizes this project.
