Design Challenge: The greatest challenge of the Hera was to devise a method to accommodate different combinations of types of plants on a vertical structure, preserving the building's functionality and allowing for a great variety of choices for future residents.
In addition, associating this myriad of possibilities to the biophilia has also generated a high level of complexity, once the enterprise would need to encompass all these variations and still be harmonic, fostering a connection with nature, well-being, and aesthetic quality
Research: The project team carried out extensive research on biophilic architecture and its benefits to human health and well-being, in addition, there was a considerable effort during the design phase of the apartment floor plans, to make it possible to design a tower with several combinations, but nonetheless feasible to build, Several possibilities were studied until the best outcomes were achieved, considering structural, sanitary plumbing, electrical and similar designs
Inspiration: Inspired by the concept of biophilic architecture, the purpose of the project is to bring nature into the urban environment and integrate it to the everyday life of the dwellers, thus creating benefits to their health and well-being and facilitating a dialogue with people's trend to seek for an additional connection with nature and peace of mind in the post-pandemic context. In addition, biophilia also contributes to the sustainability and preservation of the environment
Project Duration: The design phase started in July 2021, and was completed in December 2022, the construction starts in July 2023 and is expected to be completed in December 2027, Porto Belo, Santa Catarina, Brazil
Operation Flow: The project was developed with the purpose of allowing a unique life experience for the residents, combining comfort and the sophistication of a modern residential building, with the nature and peace of mind of a natural environment.
