EcoHouse Brazil

Brazil is a country that remains socially divided in many ways. Richer neighbourhoods and low-income neighbourhoods are often side-by-side, but there is very little contact between them, meaning more wealthy Brazilians remain blind to the plight of their neighbours. That is one of the reasons the Brazilian government rolled out Minha Casa, Minha Vida, a programme geared towards helping low income Brazilians obtain affordable housing that meets good standards in terms of quality and construction. EcoHouse Group is a UK-based company that is working in Brazil to fulfil these housing needs.

One aspect that EcoHouse Brazil is emphasising in its developments is the addition of security, which will help increase the safety of these areas significantly. The company is working to develop gated communities with a guard present in a tower 24 hours per day, and an on-site police station for residents. These additional measures make the developments even more attractive, and EcoHouse Group is striving to work with the Brazilian government and private investors to make these communities a reality.
