Detached House

SpainSpainCompany Name: HIGARSYSTEM, S.L.

Project description

This detached house is newly constructed in the province of Barcelona. A modern image, with a minimalist and bright interior, this is a project that not only meets the requirements of CTE, but also has some finished care. To provide the correct thermal insulation to the facade, a Placotherm® system has been chosen. Part of the materials used in the work have been Glasroc® X, and BA and PPM plasterboard according to the requirements. The difficulty implicit in the design of the project must be highlighted in the work, with a large number of curves both in partitions and ceilings, as in the decoration on the ceilings that at the same time serves to hide the indirect lighting, with an excellent final finish in all cases.
