Highly Sustainable Compact Homes

We know the problem

A very compact, stylish and eco-conscious house has been built in Curitiba, southern Brazil. The minimalist silhouette boasts a highly contemporary, design-forward exterior, while architecture firm Estúdio 41 infuses the home with an emphasis on sustainable functionalities. The modern residence boasts a number of water-conserving and energy-saving mechanisms, including "photovoltaic panels, a green roof, and a rainwater collection system."

The eco-conscious house is created to provide residents with extensive opportunities for outdoor living. With the construction of the building, Estúdio 41 focused on using materials that were cost-effective, while the minimalist aesthetic of the space renders it easy-to-maintain. Aside from its obvious dedication and roots in sustainability, the eco-conscious house is also design-forward and aesthetically pleasing.
