The Jardim House Renovation by Baixo Impacto Arquitetura focuses on preserving the existing structure while enhancing its spatial organization, natural light, and connection to the surrounding Atlantic Forest. Completed in 2025, the project emphasizes sustainability by minimizing demolition and reusing materials, illustrating that a home can evolve without losing its identity.
The Jardim House Renovation underscores the principle that the most sustainable building is the one that already exists, emphasizing preservation over new construction. This approach not only maintains the architectural identity and material memory of the structure but also optimizes natural light and cross-ventilation, integrating the natural environment into daily living. For someone in your field, this project exemplifies actionable strategies for enhancing existing architecture with minimal environmental impact, aligning with sustainable design practices.
