Recycled Residences

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Eugenia House Makes a Big Impact with a Small Eco Footprint

— January 4, 2011 — Eco
A house made largely from recycled storm sewer piping might seem like the last place on earth you'd want to live, but as the Eugenia House all too clearly demonstrates, you'd be dead wrong.

Indeed not only does The Eugenia House have all the attractiveness of an eco-friendly residence made with green in mind, but it also has the added bonus of being beautiful, bright, and welcoming.

Designed by João Diniz, the entire structure was carefully designed in order to take advantage of natural light and air control, in addition to being focused vertically so as to maximize space without maximizing it's impact on the surrounding scenery of Lagoa Santa, Brazil.
Trend Themes
1. Recycled Construction Materials - Incorporating recycled storm sewer piping in building construction is a trend that could offer a sustainable solution to the construction industry's waste management problem.
2. Eco-friendly Architecture - Designing buildings with green in mind and incorporating natural lighting and ventilation is a trend that could offer energy-efficient solutions for the construction industry.
3. Vertical Space Optimization - The trend of maximizing space in small living quarters by utilizing vertical space can offer innovative solutions for housing shortages in urban areas.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - The construction industry can benefit from incorporating sustainable building materials and eco-friendly design practices to reduce waste and carbon emissions.
2. Architecture - The architecture industry can benefit from incorporating natural lighting and ventilation into building designs to create energy-efficient structures that are aesthetically pleasing.
3. Real Estate - The real estate industry can benefit from exploring solutions that maximize limited space in urban areas, such as vertical space optimization, to address housing shortages and increase livable space in small living quarters.
