Wooden houses, a natural and technological material

Back to the roots. The latest generation building recovers - or brings to light - wood, a natural element with which shelters were already built in ancient times. "Traditional construction, in which wood, earth or stone were the main materials used, had the least environmental impact, because these components are circular, local and, of course, toxic-free," says Toni Escudé, health director

Furthermore, this material facilitates "an absolutely modern construction with a high degree of digitalization and industrialization," adds the project architect. "Regarding the implementation, it implies a high degree of prefabrication, which entails more speed, more precision, more control, more cleanliness, less noise, less improvisations... In short, higher quality." Precisely with the objective of "transforming the real estate sector into a true industry, which stops being an artisanal business" and also because of "our commitment to the environment, the idea of ​​using wood is part of Aedas Homes", recognizes José María Quirós, Industrialization delegate of the developer, despite the fact that the price is, as revealed, higher than that of concrete.

It is also a key element in the author's works, such as the latest by Izaskus Chinchilla, Terrazza, a unique home in the exclusive community of Las Colinas Golf.

With a constant game between the rooms of the property and the exterior space to take advantage of the climate, inside, "the light filters through the wooden beams forming changing shadows throughout the day, an effect similar to that of the domes or coffered ceilings of spaces such as the Alhambra, with a contemporary and effective structure in its use of material and mechanized manufacturing with digital control."
