Is it possible to build a home that completely adapts to its surrounding landscape of mountains and greenery, in just four months? Is it possible to heat a detached house located in the Montseny Landscape, with only a single one-kW radiator, used two hours a day in the winter? These were questions posed at the beginning of this project, that became a reality. The client requested a detached house that would be as inexpensive as possible, that could be built in a short period of time and was energy-efficient. As a solution, six wooden, prefabricated modules were created, without the need for later finishing fieldwork, that were flexible enough to adapt to the morphology of the site.The bioclimatic study of this exact site was crucial in deciding the strategies to follow in the design, in order to improve the dwelling’s comfort and to achieve the energy demands in order to be a passive house. Keeping in mind the possibilities of transportation and the passive house characteristics, we drew six modules which will adapt automatically to the sun and to the existing trees. The interstitial spaces among the modules provide the interior with flexibility and become a solar light collector in ...
