On Tuesday, July 2nd, CASACOR São Paulo will welcome the Healthy Building Certificate team alongside architect Duda Porto, who has won the Healthy Home seal for his project, Casa Lite . The project, on display at the show until August 4th, was created for the couple Bruno Gagliasso and Giovana Ewbank . The house will become the actors' country retreat in Itaipava, in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro. The couple will be present at the event, to receive, together with the architect, the certification that guarantees a transformational and educational experience on all aspects of the home that can influence the family's health, according to the parameters analyzed by the HBC. Healthy Home Seal The Healthy Building Certificate is a standard for creating and maintaining buildings that improve health and well-being, with the mission of ensuring healthy spaces for society. To receive the Healthy Home Seal, the project must meet a series of parameters of health, in their execution projects and descriptive reports, covering items such as: quality of materials to be used, technical design, electrical, hydraulic, lighting, acoustic, landscaping, sustainability and healthy maintenance projects. The above items will add points that may frame your project for a new construction or for a renovation within 3 possible ranges. Lite House With modular architecture, the unit presented during CASACOR SP has a total area of 190 m² and was built in just 40 days. It will be transported to Gagliasso and Ewbank's summer home. "We will use 70% of Lite's structure, making a clean and sustainable work. On the land, the house will have an extended floor plan, adding two more bedrooms", explains Duda Porto. The Lite house demonstrates in practice a path to efficient and flexible construction, based on a system developed by the professional in 2013. Once planned, the nomadic structure can be dismantled, transported and rebuilt anywhere, without loss of quality. "It is a a house to last a lifetime, ready to accompany the changes we experience over the years", comments the architect. Sustainability goes beyond the structure. Minimal environmental impact also inspires maximum use of available materials and natural resources. Cross ventilation, for example, guided the design of spaces to provide a better quality of life while reducing the use of electrical energy. The idea is to integrate man, architecture and the surrounding space. "It is the union of simplicity and comfort, generating emotion, good energy and well-being. It is precisely the union of all this that brings harmony and soul to this construction", concludes Duda. CASACOR SAO PAULO 2019
