A single-family house between party walls\u00a0designed\u00a0to the Passivhaus standard, adapted to an urban environment with the climate of inland Catalonia. Its exterior walls are made of cellular concrete, and the pitched roofs are made of lightweight wood frames infused with cellulose. The wood is left exposed inside the house, where it plays a prominent role, both in the finishes and in the loft built within the section. All the windows in the house have adjustable Venetian blinds.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A multi-family residential building between party walls in the old town, designed according to Passivhaus criteria.\u00a0\u00a0The entire structure and the enclosures of the residential floors are prefabricated using cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, which improves insulation, reduces weight, and reduces the building’s ecological footprint. The openings aligned with the street maintain a vertical composition in keeping with the surroundings and feature fencing that reinterprets the traditional balcony with a\u00a0two-tone tiled<\/em>\u00a0floor <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

<\/span>Client: IBAVI \/ Date: 2020<\/span><\/p>

Given Palma’s housing shortage, one of the project’s premises was to create as many homes as possible. The proposed project includes four ground-floor and four first-floor apartments, all with direct street access.<\/span><\/p>

The passive operating principles applied to all the homes include cross ventilation, generous thermal insulation, optimal solar orientation by creating a courtyard to the south of the plot, movable solar shading, and intermediate indoor-outdoor spaces.<\/span><\/p>

The reduction of the building’s ecological footprint is reinforced by a prefabricated wooden structure and the choice of low-impact materials.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
