Casa Bloco: 3rd place in the Saint-Gobain Award for sustainable habitat
Casa Bloco, built by EZA in Criciúma, came in 3rd place in the residential category of the 7th Saint-Gobain Architecture Award, for sustainable habitat.
Sustainability in construction isn't just solar panels and talk. It's how the house deals with the sun, the wind, the water and the materials. The Casa Bloco, which EZA Engenharia built in Criciúma, was recognized precisely for this: it took 3rd place in the residential category of the 7th Saint-Gobain Architecture Award, one of the benchmark awards for sustainable habitat in Brazil.
What is the Saint-Gobain Architecture Award
The Saint-Gobain Architecture Award is a national award that recognizes projects focused on sustainable habitat, that is, projects that consider comfort, efficiency and lower environmental impact. In its 7th edition, Casa Bloco, a project by ES Arquitetura, won 3rd place in the residential building category.
An honest distinction is worth making: the award recognizes the architecture project, designed by ES Arquitetura. EZA Engenharia was the construction company that executed this award-winning project, which means the sustainability conceived on paper had to be built with the same care in practice.
Sustainability that begins with the project's choices
Much of a home's efficiency is defined before turning on any equipment. It comes from cross ventilation, from making the most of natural light and from choosing lower-impact materials. At Casa Bloco, this shows in the reclaimed demolition wood and in the way the spaces open up to the garden and to the light.
This is where the construction company makes the difference: ensuring that the designed ventilation actually works, that the slopes and waterproofing protect the house, and that the specified materials arrive correctly at the project. True sustainability rests on execution.
Casa Bloco is a project EZA Engenharia is proud to have built.
