Research was done to find the main needs of Santa & Cole direct customers -ayuntamientos, universities, shopping, etc and end user premises. / User, Space, References, Finishing, Materials, Trends and Market.

 

 

Subsequently the concept was conceived and the product developed.

Composed of 4 UHPC concrete pieces that together form a pot and tables for rest or food consumption.

Inside the container shall be a tree (with its own pot) to offer shade to its users, being this the main objective of the furniture.

The availability of these 3 pieces of different lengths table allows the prescriber versatility not only to design each of the modules but also the environments and picnic areas.

Trees clean and cool environment, and can serve as spatial noise limits and beautify cities. 

According to studies, every tree clean about  30 kg of CO2  per year.

 

As well as providing functionality to users, Eva offers society a space that generates inclusion and environmental benefits for its inhabitants.

The first step is to determine the type of soil where this will be installed and prepare to anchor the base of the furniture. 

If the soil is hard, it is necessary to drill the ground where they will stuck bolts and epoxy resin filling to later insert the base. 

If the soil type is soft, it is necessary to dig the earth and insert concrete blocks later to make the step described above. It should cover the given concrete with grass or floor type environment.

A Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) was performed to establish the environmental impact and energy consumption of the proposal, considering the materials, processes and end of life.

Sustainability is one of the aspects that make the proposal. 

Durable material requiring the lowest amount to achieve form and function was sought.
