Second experiment of a residential building entirely made by a new system of dry construction.
For external walls it has been used a drywall system, consisting of double metal frame walls (Aluzink), with external covering in reinforced concrete slabs and internal covering with double plasterboard slabs.
This system, compared with traditional methods, allows to diminish costs of construction of 20-30 %, makes easier installations and reduces realization time. Inside the 27 cm walls there are 18 cm of Rockwool. So the house is well insulated and very economical to maintain, avant-garde in terms of eco-sustainability and with a high level on environmental comfort.
The house is open and it is developed on several levels, even in the hottest days of summer, opening windows of the roof, the ones in the basement and the two windows in the north and south under the trusses, it creates a nice breeze that goes through the whole home cooling it.
During winter sunny days, volume placed in the south receives the rays of the sun from east to south and west, accumulating radiation heat throughout the day, becoming during winter a sort of accumulator. The double height space facilitates the convective movement of air masses inside. It has also been created a massive brick wall covered with binders of Lyon’s Stone thickness of 60 cm. (single item made with traditional wet process) for the solar tank just below the skylight, which heats by radiation and transfers the heat to the environment.
