THIS PREFABRICATED WOODEN HOUSE FEATURES A CLEAR LANGUAGE BASED ON THE COMBINATION OF SIMPLE SHAPES.
The house, a prefabricated wooden structure, was created from two distinct parts: The smallest containing the living area, and the second, the entrance area. A utility area and the bedrooms are on the first floor. The bigger living areas are positioned around a large empty area with high ceilings with a large skylight: this is the heart of the home, an area where you can enjoy light and appreciate the view of the sky. A terrace, the size of the smaller living area, leads from the master bedroom on the first floor, while on the ground floor a large wooden deck enhances the view of the gardens.
The wall is made of wooden posts with cellulose and cork insulation, bearing panels are made of wood fiber, for the plaster or ventilated walls a protective coat of paint was added, and wooden planks are in pine. The roof features prefabricated laminated wood which is highly insulated and there are photovoltaic and solar thermal systems installed.
