The proposal developed by [baragaño] architects in collaboration with ArcelorMittal is a new way of conceiving the traditional house. Factory construction of the modules ensures quality and avoid delays. There are 5 different modules, the smallest one is 39 m2 (99 m3), and can work as house, workplace or as a combination of both. It consists of two volumes, can incorporate a walkable roof and offers the possibility of a future extension. The house is transported and placed anywhere, and it can also be stacked, creating a collective house building.
Description of the project by [baragaño] Architects
We propose a new housing way of thinking, with a high quality product, near to the constructive avant-garde, to the automotive industry, to the aeronautic, allowing the growth of it and offering a way to use the space much more dynamic, versatile and rational. Housing with the highest technology and a construction time off our months [without delays or budget variances]. Growing housing, offering to the user the possibility to articulate in a simple way, future growth in space and time, both horizontally and vertically.
b home*, is an environmentally responsible housing, from the time of construction, which meets the CTE and the new efficiency energy highest requirements. b home, combines tradition and modernity, reinterpreting some of the elements that existedin the good homes of our childhood [niche, cupboard, gallery, hall, corridor, doorjamb, boudoir etc...].
bhbox, bh3, bh6, bh9, bh12 five housing ranges and the growing option, at least with a minimum "cell" that provides, one bedroom plus a bathroom, attached or separate from the dwelling, besides the extra parking-laundry. The roof is a space is designed as part of the house, really livable and walkable.
Each space has a patio, which serves as physical space and visual relationship in the house. Patios, up to have different uses, depending on the time of year[orchard, garden, swimming pool, sauna, etc...]. A dynamic and versatile housing, connected spaces, patios, interior-exterior dialogue, make b home a new design concept, more suitable to nowadays way of life, and try to be an evolution of traditional housing. Housing accessible and adapted, which provides the elevator option in future, if necessary.
Stop thinking the house, only by surfaces, square meters [m2]. Think in spaces, quality, fragments, volume. Cubic meters [m3], introduce the volume3_6_9_12 / 30_60_90_120 that speaks of meters, but also of volume fragments, people, spaces.
bhome +
b home can be transported and stacked, creating a collective house building. With this system, you can build in a fast and simple way, a high rise building, adapted to the needs of the client and the site.
It could be used too in any public or private building, hotels, schools, offices, etc...
b office
The system can be adapted to any type of building or program. We incorporate a number of types of office buildings, where we have been working and allow the same benefits as those raised for housing.
System Benefits
Projects with such demand of quality and durability as the Cruise Ship Terminals of Bilbao and Gijon, in such hard environments as industrial waterfronts, have chosen our system for two of them highlights buildings. The fact of produce our homes in a factory and transport them to the site completely finished, apart from get more control over the quality of work, means several advantages which are listed below,
1. Costs and lead time reduction and therefore faster benefits [4 months].
2. Higher security at work and reduction of potential working risks.
3. High quality construction, meeting the requirements of the CTE and energy Efficiency.
4. Different materials option. Adaptable and exportable housing [Growing Houses].
5. Option of relocate the house in other place [Mobility].
6. Real sustainability from the way of building and used materials.
7. Noise, discomfort and waste reduction. The main work is done at the factory.
8. Project, design, manufacture and assembly of the house.
9. Structural Safety and precision, overall in earthquake zones.
10. Accessible Housing and elevator option.
