The relationship with the landscape is one of the primary requirements of the project, since the encounter with nature is a mechanism that encourages the social integration of young people with intellectual disabilities.
The wood has many advantages for improving of the thermal envelope of a building.
Due to its insulation, and a machining facility, using the multilayer system can design walls with a thickness equivalent to the construction of "traditional" have much lower thermal transmittance than those required by the current Technical Building Code English.
Two examples of composition of walls and the corresponding thermal transmittance value. Equal values \u200b\u200bcould have been obtained using other organic insulators.
Housing of the photographs is the work of architects Grijelmo Lazaro study.
UM = 0.383 W/m2 ∙ K Total wall thickness of 20 cm
UM = 0.285 W / m 2 ∙ K total wall thickness 23 cm
UM = 0.275 W / m 2 ∙ K total thickness of 24 cm bearing wall
