The brief

The starting point

A home designed so that the interior flows seamlessly into the exterior, following the rhythm of light and climate.

The brief called for an open home, designed to make the most of the mild climate and outdoor living. The aim was to connect the spaces with each other and with the garden, while maintaining privacy. The house is arranged over two levels: a more open ground floor linked to the exterior, and a more private upper level. Clean lines, neutral materials and large openings allow for a natural transition between indoors and outdoors, creating a home that can be lived in seamlessly throughout the year.

Slab and setting out

Timeline

How the months on site break down

Cinco meses desde el replanteo hasta la entrega de llaves

  1. Month 1

    Setting out

    The home is marked out on the ground and the plot is prepared to start.

  2. Month 1

    Foundation

    Reinforced concrete slab. The only wet element in the whole build.

  3. Month 2

    Structure

    The timber arrives on the plot, is cut to size and dry-bolted onto the slab.

  4. Month 3

    Envelope

    Watertight roof and continuous external insulation: the house is closed off.

  5. Month 4

    Services

    Windows, ducting and pre-installations, with the home already protected from the rain.

  6. Month 5

    Handover

    Finishes, final inspection and the handover of keys.

An indicative breakdown over this project's real duration. Each milestone shifts with the site, the permit and the size of the home.

Technical solutions

What it is built with

The building system is the same across all our homes. We always separate what is installed from what is prepared: a house that arrives with the ducting done is not the same as one that arrives with the equipment fitted.

Standard

Light timber framing

12×4 cm studs and sole plates in certified structural timber, cut to size on site.

Standard

Continuous insulation

High-performance external insulation system: the thermal envelope runs outside, with no breaks and no thermal bridges.

Standard

Watertight roof

18 mm OSB, 50 mm of high-density XPS and 15 mm OSB over the timber structure.

Standard

Windows and glazing

Thermally broken aluminium or high-performance PVC, with 4/16/4 double glazing.

Prepared

Climate control

Air-source heat pump, underfloor heating or ducted air. The home is handed over with the pre-installation and ducting in place.

Prepared

Mechanical ventilation

Ducting allowed for in the design, ready for the air-renewal unit to be fitted.

Composition according to Amara's specification document.
