building for healthIn today's highly polluted world our bodies are constantly threatened by an army of environmental stressors: contaminated water, pesticides, fungicides, preservatives, excitotoxins and other harmful chemicals in our food, toxic chemicals we absorb via consumer goods, air pollution and the newest one - escalating electromagnetic pollution.
On top of that, there is indoor pollution. Our own Home - the very place that is supposed to be our safe haven - exposes us to thousands of harmful chemicals, heavy metals and overwhelming amount of EMFs. Every single day. Off-gassing building materials, finishes & furniture, materials degrading as dust particles, electromagnetic radiation, dirty electricity, contaminated water, polluted air, toxic chemicals contained in cleaning and other consumer products pile up in and around our bodies. |
non-toxic homeOur body has to work harder to fight this ever expanding range of environmental stressors and eliminate toxins, only to be exposed to exactly the same challenges the next day. This never ending cycle endangers and harms our health.
While we are unable to escape most of the environmental challenges out there, we can control the environment of our homes and provide our bodies with a well-deserved break. After almost two decades in construction and as health conscious individuals, we know for a fact that not only design, safety and efficiency of the building matters but also how “healthy” it is. This is quite a new approach to construction but we are certain it is bound to become a standard practice in the future once more customers gain awareness about the risks of living in a toxic home. Meanwhile, this innovative superior quality construction is already available to our customers. |

All building materials will off-gas during their life-span. Due to that, indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outside according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Independent research suggests that number can be as high as 100 times, which is often the case. |
"eco-friendly" does not mean
"human-friendly"
|
Although initially the term “green” referred to a holistic approach to building that included both environmental health AND the health of the human occupants, it changed with time.
Over the last 25 years, the human health component was lost and "green building" these days only refers to energy efficiency and global environmental concerns. And while those topics are certainly important, what good does it do to save the environment while we continue to poison the occupants? Defining VOC (volatile organic compound) as “any carbon based molecules that are readily vaporized at room temperatures, that could react with nitrogen and UV to create low level smog”, EPA regulates chemicals based solely of their propensity to create smog while effects on human health are completely overlooked. |
Such regulations are used by manufactures to mislead consumers by marketing products as “eco-friendly”, “natural”, even “non-toxic”. Which is far from the truth (read more).
So let's keep in mind that even if the builder made an effort to confer to the requirements of the “green building”, it does NOT mean that the construction is safe for human occupants. the guise of "eco-friendly" and "green" |
A non-toxic home protects the health of its inhabitants

how do we make your home healthy?
|
A healthy home provides safe non-toxic environment where the human body is able to rest and restore,this means:
- the quality of air and water is at its highest; - off-gassing is at the minimum; - magnetic fields, electric fields and radio frequencies EMFs are within (superior European) safety standards. To assure such quality, the builder has to be diligent and examine the possibility of minimizing toxicity at each step of the construction. Our formula is: Thorough research + Smart planning + Full commitment to non-toxic materials + No budget corner-cutting + Passion for creating non-toxic homes. |
Our homes are constructed with low-toxic or non-toxic materials when possible and feature low or zero VOC paint, flooring and cabinetry as well as EMF-reduced environment which includes EMF "quiet zones" and EMF "kill switches".
For our most health-conscious customers we offer additional features: zero-EMF environment, in-home detox spa, superior lighting system supporting circadian rhythms, non-toxic furnishing plus air & water “revitalization” systems. We are passionate to find the most effective healthy home solutions, so that our customers do not have to choose between health & budget, health & functionality , even health & beauty. We have more to offer, talk to us about your specific needs. |

MANUFACTURERS DO NOT MAKE IT EASY TO AVOID FORMALDEHYDE - PRIORITY INDOOR POLLUTANT
Although formaldehyde is known carcinogen, it is still legal and used in a large percentage of building materials and consumer goods. Manufacturers go to the great lengths to hide formaldehyde an ingredient in their products while often marketing formaldehyde- containing products as ‘non-toxic’. read more ZURICH APARTMENTS ARE PURPOSE BUILT FOR PEOPLE WITH CHEMICAL HYPERSENSITIVITY
