“In a temperate climate, a minimum of 50% of our design should be focused on housing.” Bill Mollison
Meeting our need for shelter has had a major impact on our planet over the centuries. Today, the construction sector is responsible for up to 40% of emissions.
The homes we live in have a direct influence on our health as well, and not only on the health of the planet.
We propose to Build and Redesign our “Third Skin” with a deep ecological awareness of ourselves and the context we choose to inhabit.
Creating metabolic houses that cycle nutrients and produce more energy than they consume. Islands of Resilience, cells of pure life.
- We advise you and work with the architectural firm you have chosen to find the most ecological solutions for your project, and if you still don’t have your team of professionals, don’t worry, La Casa Integral makes it easy for you.
- Regenerative Solutions can be applied both to a renovation and to a new construction, to a single-family house as well as to a building or a housing cooperative, in urban or rustic areas. Our framework is adaptable to all contexts.
- We improve the energy efficiency of housing through bioclimatic design and insulation strategies using natural and/or non-polluting materials such as cork, sheep wool, straw, recycled cotton or wood fibers.
- We promote the use of lime and clay as high performance materials within a home.
- We apply Ethics and Aesthetics to find the beauty consistent with your way of seeing the world.
