built in three months and assembled in three days, this holiday home situated in the village Cedeira Galicia, Spain, is a good example of the many possibilities offered by today modular construction so far identified by the catalog houses.
The program demanded by the customer, plus the unique location housing and transport needs and modulation required by the design inspired prefab house designed by the young studio MYCC Madrid, composed Carmiña Casajuana, Beatriz G. Casares and Mark Gonzalez.
The house is situated on a steep hillside in a remote location on the northwest corner of the Iberian peninsula, dominated by the imposing presence of the ocean and the graceful eucalyptus forests that surround it, in an area surrounded by fields of work, family farming and small sloping roof houses scattered in the environment.
This image, covered by the planning regulations in the area, led to the housing geometry, simplified to evoke the basic house was conceived as an autonomous piece positioned as an observer of the landscape and talks, with new terms, the traditional language of the place.
wrapped volume of two materials with the mission to establish a dialogue with the landscape. The roof and facades side covered with Viroc ®, a prefabricated cement-based and wood chips which, by its grayish color, reminiscent of eucalyptus wood. This high-strength cement gets despite being lightweight and therefore easy to handle and transport.
The two main fronts house were coated with weathering steel perforated trays as outlining the silhouette of a forest, recreating the image of the surrounding vegetation. Material was chosen because they belong to the tradition of fishing villages like Cedeira, used for manufacturing the hulls of ships and gradual and controlled oxidation which provides the material self. Its patina and color changes provide a vivid image that relates to the natural environment.
This interplay between natural and artificial prey stays inside, where light passes through these shades drawn silhouettes of trees in different rooms.
The condition of rental housing sporadically led to a design of open spaces and open the unique landscape to make this the main character. The six modules that comprise the housing of about 6m long and 3m wide (maximum width reasonable to carry on trailer) distribute the program as follows: one bedroom houses, which can be divided in two by a blind hides in roof, which acts as a wall when you need more rooms. In the second are the bathroom and the stairs. In the third the kitchen and in the last three games. On the top floor, under the skirts of the deck, is located in the attic we found an open space with double facade open to the sea from the southwest and northeast into the woods. It stayed directed toward the classroom without specific use, can serve as guest bedroom, living room tai-chi or playground for children.
The house combines two different systems: prefabricated building (2D) to the attic floor and modular construction (3D) to the ground floor. The modules were manufactured at the plants owned construction firm in the population IDM Valdemoro Madrid. These modules were built with beams and columns structure of galvanized steel and floor and ceiling slabs of reinforced concrete decking. The front walls were formed by sandwich panels T & G consisting of two aluminum sheets and soul of polyurethane coating 80 mm thick. Over several layers of waterproofing strips were placed on which the exterior walls were bolted. Inland, left a ventilated air chamber of 20 cm for the passage of the structure and erected a perimeter cladding plates 46 mm plasterboard with mineral wool. The resulting set is a wall 30 centimeters thick facade ventilated chamber, inner chamber and 12 cm in total isolation. After the factory mounting evidence of any comprehensive housing and make sure everything fit, the building was dismantled in different modules and trusses to be packed and transported on trailers over 700 kilometers, from the point of manufacture to the remote coastal site where it should be installed. In just three days again assembled all the pieces in the place of destination and following fifteen shots were completed.
The end result is a high quality product, designed with high standards of energy efficiency and production of which has contributed to an environmental balance, since it controls the waste generation and emissions. The greatest contribution is in its own name: manufactured housing, is not built. Something that leads us to believe in the efficient assembly line of an industrial building, covered and controlled, unlike a traditional work setting at the mercy of external factors that determine the construction. We can say that this type of manufacturing is moving towards a sustainable and responsible architecture in the use of finite resources at our disposal.
