The Island Was Born From The Excavation Of A Dam Around Preserved Palm Trees To Avoid Environmental Degradation, Turning A Flooded Area Into A Leisure Refuge Valued At 150,000 Reais

In São Miguel do Guaporé, Camila Honorório’s family invested up to 150,000 reais to create a sustainable artificial island, aiming to preserve the local nature and ensure private leisure, attracting national attention on social media recently with its lush scenery.

Private Island In The Backyard: Private Refuge In Rondônia

The idea of building the space initially arose for family fun in a pond of bluish waters in the backyard.

The project took shape when Camila’s parents decided to keep native palm trees in an area that was already flooded.

Videos showing the routine in the private paradise went viral on the internet, sparking the curiosity of thousands of internet users across the country.

Even with the digital success, the family prefers to keep the place reserved only for gatherings and lunches on Sundays.

Neighbors and close friends also frequent the space to cool off on hot days in the São Miguel do Guaporé region.

The young woman reported to g1 that the family enjoys the environment for leisure and relaxation moments in their backyard.

Construction Details

The execution of the work took two days of labor with a PC machine hired from a specialized company in the region.

After excavating the dam, landscaping and shaping were done manually by Camila’s parents and other family members.

The process of structuring the site took more than a year and is still ongoing according to the family’s plans.

Investments And Future Plans For The Private Island

The amount invested in transforming the land varied between 100,000 and 150,000 reais over the entire work period.

Since the project was not planned from the beginning, expenses occurred as adaptations to the flooded land were needed.

The family is now studying the possibility of turning the island into a guesthouse to welcome visitors interested in the local scenery.

Currently, they are putting the new commercial project on paper due to the great interest shown by residents of the Rondônia region.

Maravilhoso!
Gostaria de visitar essa ilha.
Pode tomar banho nessa água?
Quem se deu o trabalho de criticar o nome das palmeiras realmente não tem olhos para a criatividade e beleza disso.
PARABÉNS!!!

Investments And Future Plans For The Private Island

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Research led by the University of Zurich followed 12 crew members for ten months at the Concordia Station in Antarctica, where winter temperatures can drop to minus 80°C, and identified conflicts, distrust, perceived performance decline, and the formation of subgroups in an extreme environment.

A ton of old cell phones can contain up to 800 times more gold than a ton of ore extracted from a mine, according to the UN, and it is this hidden wealth in drawers that drives so-called urban mining, which can even be turned into Olympic medals.

Robot dives up to 500 meters into the dark depths of the sea to retrieve ghost nets that total more than 600,000 tons per year in the ocean and continue capturing animals for centuries.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

In a boat just 1.19 meters long, smaller than many kayaks, Briton Andrew Bedwell wants to cross nearly 3,000 kilometers of the North Atlantic alone and spend more than two months without being able to lie down or stand up, all to break a record and honor cancer victims.

While most dealerships in Brazil take days to deliver cars, in Germany two 48-meter glass towers hold 800 vehicles and release each model via automatic elevators in a few seconds.

In Japan, a 40 by 60-meter concrete museum without pillars rises like a floating drop, allowing wind, light, and rain inside the space and surprising architects and engineers with the delicacy of the structure.

While traditional constructions rely on tons of concrete to support weight, in England an abandoned site was converted into transparent hexagonal domes, combining lightweight engineering and mine repurposing, transforming the landscape and local tourism.

While historical buildings rely on artificial lighting, a museum in Wisconsin uses 66-meter movable wings to control natural light and create the effect of a giant bird over its glass hall.
