Crivo Eco-Construção

Crivo Eco-Construção, Lda designs and builds homes and other structures adapted to the local climate and landscape, using natural, low-impact materials and eco-building techniques. Its services run from consultancy to full building projects using ecological methods. Nuno Martins founded the company. It's based in Trás-os-Montes, in northeast Portugal, with operations recorded in Miranda do Douro and Caldas da Rainha. The company has been involved in regional community and landscape initiatives. Its name appears in connection with local projects, including the construction of a day-care centre and collaborative landscape events. That suggests it takes on community-minded, socially conscious building work as well as projects for individual clients. Crivo has also received public subsidies. Young professionals and interns have been part of the team, gaining hands-on experience of natural building methods. This points to an openness to mentoring and to passing on skills within sustainable construction.
