Developed by Vivet de Vidrà Carpentry, designed by the architectural firm Sau Taller d'Arquitectura, the project - a dwelling located in Vidrà, Spain - aims to achieve:

1. Low environmental impact and high energy efficiency,

2. Competitive cost and high-quality construction, and

3. Integration into the landscape.

To meet these objectives, the project employs:

• Bare, neutral materials: utilising a large concrete plinth to manage the uneven plot and a dry construction method with laminated wood structures and wood-cement composite panels

• Efficient use of resources: minimal openings for optimal solar radiation, reducing thermal bridges and energy consumption

• Standardised construction: BIM modeling and a modular approach minimise waste and reduce costs. A highly efficient floor plan centralises essential services (kitchen, bathrooms) to free the facades from technical constraints apart from isolation
