In Itamaracá, Mother and Daughter Transformed Over 8,000 Bottles and Recycled Materials Into a Sustainable Home That Inspires the Community and Promotes Environmental Awareness in Pernambuco

On the island of Itamaracá, in Pernambuco, Edna and her daughter, Maria Gabrielly Dantas, decided to tackle the growing problem of waste on the beaches with an idea that combines creativity and sustainability. The initiative, called Casa de Sal, emerged during the pandemic when the accumulation of waste became even more visible and concerning.

With determination, mother and daughter began building a house using glass bottles and recycled wood, transforming discarded materials into solid and functional structures.

In just two years, over 8,000 bottles have been integrated into the construction, proving that repurposing can generate real and lasting solutions.

Innovation of the Bottle House Goes Beyond Aesthetics

The Casa de Sal is not just a different residence. It was designed to show that waste can have new value.

In addition to the bottles, the house features walls made from pallets, tiles created from toothpaste tubes, and furniture assembled with leftover materials collected from the beaches.

This unusual combination has brought a new perspective to what was once considered trash. Furthermore, the project sparks interest from visitors and local residents, encouraging reflection on environmental responsibility and conscious consumption.

Impact and Transformation in the Community

The project has led to significant changes in Itamaracá. By reducing the volume of waste and offering a model for sustainable housing, the Casa de Sal inspires new actions in the region.

It also stimulates discussions on dignified housing and waste management, urgent topics in Brazil.

Another important aspect is the social impact. Edna and Gabrielly’s work demonstrates the power of female leadership in areas traditionally dominated by men, such as construction.

Sustainable House: A Symbol of Resistance and Future

Overcoming skepticism and challenges, mother and daughter transformed prejudice into motivation. The Casa de Sal has become a symbol of strength and a new way of thinking about sustainability.

For Edna and Gabrielly, the project represents more than a house: it is a manifesto for harmony between humans and the environment, showing that a more sustainable future begins with small actions.
