Founded by Fabio and Veronica, Home & Care is a company that has revolutionized the traditional concept of construction – combining decades of expertise in the construction sector with an innovative vision: to build homes that improve the quality of life of those who live in them and, at the same time, respect the environment.
With over thirty years of experience in the sector and a solid family tradition behind him, Fabio, who grew up on traditional construction sites, decided about twenty years ago to embark on a new path. His goal was to find innovative solutions to the problems that characterize traditional buildings and affect living wellbeing.
This is how he approached the world of green building and bio-architecture, being fascinated by their ability to overcome the limits of traditional methods, promoting well-being and sustainability.
Through an in-depth study of natural materials, such as natural lime and ecological insulation, Fabio analysed the harmful elements present inside homes, identifying how they can negatively affect health.
This path led him to develop innovative wooden walls, made entirely of breathable and biocompatible materials.
Veronica, a graduate in Nursing Sciences, brought a unique perspective to the project. Coming from the healthcare sector, she enthusiastically embraced the philosophy of Home & Care, seeing green building as a means to globally extend the concept of health. Since people spend much of their time in their homes, creating healthy environments becomes essential. Promoting living well-being is the shared goal that unites their experiences and skills.
The synergy between Fabio and Veronica offers a complete and personalized service, which follows the customer every step of the way. Home & Care is not limited to the construction of new homes, but also deals with the renovation and redevelopment of existing buildings, improving the quality of life through the use of natural materials, the increase in the energy class and the installation of renewable systems, all with particular attention to environmental impact.
Among the numerous Home & Care projects, AlberoCasa stands out, a resort immersed in the green Tuscan hills. Consisting of a series of apartments built according to the most advanced standards of healthiness and environmental sustainability, AlberoCasa stands out for a wooden load-bearing structure, the use of natural materials and attention to every detail. This project demonstrates how the principles of green building can be applied to the tourism-hospitality sector, bringing added value and offering an environmentally friendly product. Recycled cork was used for the insulation of the walls, confirming the commitment to the environment.
Home & Care offers personalized advice for those who want to improve the characteristics of existing buildings, integrating green building elements without necessarily having to resort to new constructions.
A significant example is the project carried out in Stia, in Casentino, where a building from the late 19th century, originally in energy class G, was transformed into a technological and efficient building, certified in energy class A4, the highest level currently available. Before the intervention, the building consumed 348.41 kWh/m³ per year; after the retrofitting, consumption has been reduced to just 2.80 kWh/m³ per year.
This result was achieved thanks to the use of natural materials for the insulation of the walls and the construction of the roof, the use of natural lime for the interior finishes, and the installation of a radiant panel
heating system with heat pump, photovoltaic panels, storage batteries and charging station. The building is completely gas free.
This example shows how green building not only improves the quality of life but significantly reduces the environmental impact. The houses designed by Home & Care stand out for their almost zero emissions, reduced energy requirements and the use of renewable energy, while ensuring healthy environments for both inhabitants and workers involved in construction sites, eliminating exposure to harmful substances.
Home & Care is not just a construction company: it is a project that combines tradition, innovation and passion for well-being. Fabio and Veronica demonstrate that green building houses are not just a technical process, but a path that focuses on people, the environment and a sustainable future.
