The“El Tiemblo House”, represents the key values of the Infiniski brand: modular, greener, cheaper, faster, better, cooler and flexible.
The project is d on a bioclimatic and modular design, using a prefabricated construction process allowing a reduction in costs, time and environmental impact.
Thanks to it’s “modularity” the house was thought in a way it can be easily enlarged depending on the future needs of the client.
The house of 190 ㎡ is designed in the shape of an “L” and organized in 2 levels. It uses 4 recycled maritime containers for structure, façade and roof systems and a galvanized steel structure which serves as a structural foundation for the upper level of the house.
The project was designed in the shape of an “L” in order to respond to the bioclimatic needs of the house and take full advantage of the topographic setting of the land; natural surroundings, light and landscape views. The main window opening of the house is directed toward the beautiful views of the Valley and in conjunction with the door and window openings located on each side of the “L”, it acts as an effective natural ventilation tool.
The façade system uses the original l panels of the recycled containers, which provides an effective naturalheating system, when receiving direct solar radiation during cold days. Complemented with a Biomass heating system, the house achieves high energetic efficiency during winter. In summer, climbing deciduous plants coverthe facade creating a natural solar protection and a ventilated thermal envelope.
