PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PREFABRICATED WOODEN HOMES 2014
In our opinion the future of prefabricated wooden houses is a simple but well reasoned solid constructionwithout any glue or synthetic elements. This leads not only to real sustainability, but creates a pleasantindoor climate and a friendly atmosphere.
The lightness of wood and the possibilities of prefabricating large-size elements qualifies wooden houses todensify an urban landscape. A city as Berlin has a huge amount of flat roofs that can carry light woodenconstructions. People can live in individual houses with spectacular views in the middle of the city.
The proposed single family house offers 2-3 rooms on ground level and an open living room with kitchen andeating space on the top floor. The generosity of the space is increased by large-size windows in walls androof together with the opening gesture of the sloped roof itself.
The serving functions are concentrated along side one outer wall. The rest of the space can be organizedwithout any constraints.
