MODULAR DESIGN

The modular arrangement allows for the optimization of manufacturing and assembly, ensuring efficiency in costs and construction times.

Each department integrates two differentiated modules, separating wet and dry areas to maximize functionality and distribution.

Design

The building is located to the north, freeing up a central green area with palm trees and improving the organization of the urban space.

Sustainability

The use of industrialized wood reduces the carbon footprint and optimizes thermal comfort with minimal environmental impact.

Innovation

Prefabricated modules allow for fast and efficient construction, reducing costs and execution times.

Habitability

Interior patios and cross ventilations improve natural lighting and quality of life in each apartment.

Structure

The modular design with lightweight timber responds efficiently to seismic demands.

Community

The project promotes community life with open spaces and circulations designed for collective use.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The project significantly reduces the carbon footprint through the use of renewable materials and sustainable construction processes.

The wood used is carbon negative and offers superior thermal performance, reducing the building's energy demand.

URBAN INTEGRATION

The site respects and enhances the environment, incorporating existing green areas and improving pedestrian and vehicular connectivity.

The design strengthens the neighborhood identity, generating a dynamic façade that enriches the urban image and the public space.

CONSTRUCTIVE INNOVATION

The industrialized manufacturing process optimizes resources and reduces waste, achieving an efficient and scalable housing solution.

The modular assembly accelerates construction times and allows the model to be replicated in future housing developments.

QUALITY OF LIFE

The design maximizes natural lighting and ventilation, creating comfortable and healthy interior spaces for its residents.

The intermediate courtyards encourage social interaction and the continuous use of the common spaces within the housing complex.

This project demonstrates that wood industrialization is an efficient and sustainable solution for social housing.


Through innovation and design, ARCHIPLAN proposes a replicable model that improves the quality of life and the urban fabric.
