The social housing project commissioned by the Municipal Housing Institute of Barcelona (IMHAB) is an excellent example of collaborative work in the Design and Build modality. In close collaboration with Vivas Arquitectos, Constructora Del Cardoner, and the CompactHabit system of Constructora d’Aro, we designed and conceived this project consisting of 46 homes.
The single-family home project we are presenting here stands out due to the close, open collaboration between our architectural studio, our specialized engineering firms Bernuz Fernandez and SJ12 , and the client, who had access to their own construction company, Reconsa. The design of this house was conceived to meet a demanding functional program established by the client, while integrating sustainable design strategies and passive and bioclimatic concepts to achieve a very high level of energy efficiency, with minimum consumption and maximum comfort.
