Regenerative landscaping is essential for maintaining the local ecosystem

Solar energy, technology for reusing rainwater, recycling waste, in short, sustainability as a whole is one of the factors most taken into consideration when buying a property, according to a study by the Brazilian Association of Real Estate Developers (Abrainc) and Brain Inteligência Estratégica .

Therefore, a sustainable landscaping project also enters this decisive purchasing factor, this is because most people do not know that conventional landscaping uses invasive exotic species that impact the original biome.

The book “Sustainable Landscaping for Brazil: Integrating Nature and Humanity in the 21st Century”, written by landscaper Ricardo Cardim , reveals that 90% of the plant species used in landscaping projects in Brazil, the country with the greatest biodiversity in the world, come from other countries, following aesthetic and commercial motivations, disconnected from native vegetation with low ecosystem potential and causing harm to local flora and fauna.

"The idea is to create the feeling that those plants have always been there on the land and the building grew among them. Regenerative landscaping was also used in the attic, with native species of different sizes, colors and textures so that residents feel invited to use this outdoor space", explains architect and landscaper Felipe Ferreira , who designed the Muda WF project, with consultancy from Iago de Oliveira , from Bloco Base, aiming at the regeneration of urban ecosystems .

Other benefits of sustainable, naturalistic and regenerative landscaping are: the contribution to the local landscape, for a more pleasant walk around the building, thermal and acoustic comfort for residents and the dispersion of seeds for urban regeneration.
