The company proposes a new style of wood frame construction with a stroke that erases all preconceived ideas about building with wood: cabins in the woods or in the worst pre-fabricated units that make us associate very simple concept to buildings, mobile and even portable with rustic tables in sight, as the home of the pioneers of the West.
Far from this concept, the apartments “wood spirit” of Casa Nova 3020 provide a distinct value of design and sustainability with the environment and involves implementing a new way of understanding the construction beyond the building and large-series level that has prevailed for years.
Innovative style
The set is aesthetically antagonistic to the usual buildings and their surroundings, where designs are prevalent type neo-village “or rustic. These homes do not show their construction system with the naked eye, as the exteriors are resolved through a combination of polymer concrete slabs on metal frames (front ventilated) and acrylic renderings higher volume. The building has a distinct style, contemporary feel, as there are no limits in terms of design. Each home has 290 square meters, divided into three levels, plus an outdoor area for about 300 square meters of garden and terraces.
Healthy and sustainable
The wood-frame construction, quickly and without the addition of water, stand the test of time and its use is the preferred option in many European countries plus Canada and the U.S.. Wood as a major element of the structure, is a natural regulator of humidity and indoor temperature, humidity in creating environments very balanced, more comfortable and no condensation to harm the health of the occupants.
The energy saving is also a strong point in these houses and they have a Class B rating, which means saving 55% on your household energy. This has placed some thermal insulation that go well beyond the parameters required by the Technical Building Code.
Guarantees identical
The wood-frame homes, as with the concrete, are regulated by the Law on Construction Management (LOE), which provides 10 years warranty on defects or defects that affect the safety of the structure, and the Building Technical Code (CTE) that requires structural elements are calculated for a minimum of 50 years use. As in any other building these houses are made from a study of the proposed architecture, endorsed by his professional body, and for which we have had to apply for building permits for the town hall. As a building with concrete foundation and settled permanently in the field, these houses can be mortgaged and no major problems out insurance than any other house.
In addition to the safeguards required by current legislation, the wood used by Casa Nova 3020 is suited for use in structures. This is the so-called C24 (coniferous) treated in an autoclave for a risk class 3 (with the exception of the parties in direct contact with the foundation, risk treated to class 4). They seal of inspection and identification of high quality and adequate moisture to their employment (less than 20%). As wood is part of the structure and has no direct exposure to sunlight, does not need any special maintenance.
