The works consist of energy efficiency interventions, structural renovation, in addition to the total restyling of a residential building from the 1960s, which can be divided into three independent apartments.
The project takes note of the imposing volume of the pre-existing building and highlights it by removing its projections, simplifying its geometry, redesigning solids and voids with large squared holes and transforming the roof into a private useful surface.
We are a company of social impact, circular economy and environmental awareness that cleans plastic from the bottom of the sea and turns it into furniture as a way to give it a second life and a high sustainable value. We achieve all this thanks to the collaboration of companies, organizations and individuals who finance the cleaning of plastic from the sea, to the more than 2000 fishermen who help us in the plastic collection along the Mediterranean and to our recycling and revaluation partners
Quinta do Pisão is part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, which belongs to the Natura 2000 network, and is the redevelopment of abandoned agricultural land into a working farm and large public park offering walking and cycling paths, as well as a range of events based around sustainable tourism. Since the changes were made to Quinta do Pisão, local biodiversity has increased, and local people as well as visitors, primarily from Lisbon, increasingly use the space for recreation.
SuperSolferino The Beauty Near Us starts during the pandemic lockdown days, when we had to stay home or could only wander nearby it, and we were isolated from our friends and families
In those days I felt like my eyes became bigger and were able to see beauty in simple ordinary landscapes, streets, buildings.
Struggling to overcome such difficult days, I gave my home a new name and a logo as an imaginary place open to sharing of creative contents linked with lockdown days SuperSolferino
Émilieu Studio created, for Camondo Méditerranée design school, a furniture system entirely in repurposed material. Our guidelines: modularity, abolition of the indoor/outdoor frontier, a practical approach to environmental sciences. Through this highly innovative project for a large-scale learning community, we created:
BiodiverCity is a masterplan in the city of Barcelona that brings the biodiversity-including plants, animals and insects-to the urban context, focusing mainly on the leftover spaces.and discusses how urban agriculture and technology can help people engage in food production in urban public spaces to create a communal productive lifestyle.
Landares Festival is a one-week gathering of people working to explore the potential of land art as a means to investigate new forms of sustainable relationships between human beings and nature. It takes place in a rural area, where participants, visitors and local population are invited to create artistic installations and performances with natural on-site materials, zero waste and locally inspired contents.
The Agro Biomaterials Kit consists of the necessary ingredients to make bioplastics at home. Only water and organic residue should be added.
This project is the materialisation of a neighbourhood's struggle to recover the leisure space that belonged to them: the Beach. After the ferocious expansion of a port that only considered its productivity, a neighbourhood was deprived of the origin of its being. Now the inhabitants of Nazaret are demanding the recovery of the leisure paradise that is the beach, and they have decided to rebuild it with their own hands. This is a leisure infrastructure.
For years, the abandoned former Thermal Power Plant of Sant Adrià de Besòs was the focus of a preservation fight by the local community to prevent its demolition, and only recently were the Tres Chimeneas granted heritage protection by the authorities. The ultimate aim of this proposal is to excel a positive social, economic and environmental impact on a regional scale by re-qualifying the site while preserving its identity, and to give back people what they called "la Sagrada Familia of worker"
