Project description
In a country with a deficit of 8 million houses, a residential construction that is faster, safer and that facilitates a lower level of waste generation comes as an innovative project, and in many ways has broken a number of paradigms. This 155 square metre residence was the first to be built entirely using a light steel frame construction system, in a place where house construction has been dominated by traditional masonry for decades. In view of the need for maximum agility required by the client, the house had to be completed and delivered in only 58 days. In addition to this challenge, the system was required to ensure high level finishing, to allow heavy and suspended fixtures in various parts of the house and to ensure acoustic comfort, especially on the top floor bedrooms. To meet these requirements, various Placo solutions were applied, contributing to outstanding performances in terms of protection against humidity, sound insulation, finishing of the ceilings and heavy load fixing capabilities.
