Prefab homes are gaining ever larger shares in the real estate market.They offer a wide range of solutions depending on the owner's needs.But the main doubt concerns the choice of the material with which to make them, concrete or wood?Here are the pros and cons of both.In reality, the materials with which prefabricated houses can be built are many, however wood and concrete remain the most used.More difficult, however, to determine which is the best.Especially since, in reality, it is a rather relative concept that can vary according to individual needs.A prefabricated concrete house is built from architectural concrete blocks divided by modules.This is why it guarantees good resistance over time, as well as guaranteeing the same housing solutions as traditional houses, but with more affordable prices.The quality / price ratio is excellent.As with any other sector of the market, there is no single, fixed price for a prefabricated concrete house.The cost varies mainly depending on the "extras" and the design you choose.Low cost houses can be built with simple solutions, or with more exclusive projects and luxury details.Furthermore, adding more modules increases the price: for example, you can add a swimming pool or a living room even after construction.Basically, the characteristics and dimensions have a decisive impact on the final cost."The average price we work with for a standard house is € 1,100 per square meter and € 1,300 for a bespoke house. This figure includes architectural projects, surface foundations, sanitary forging, construction management, finishing and installations," he explains. Matthieu Filiol, commercial director of Hormipresa, a company specializing in prefabricated concrete houses.As mentioned above, this type of house is modular, so the modules are first built and subsequently assembled.The whole construction process is carried out in the factory, before finalizing the project in the area where the house will be built."The structures are assembled in 10 days and are delivered fully functional in a period of about six months, which is twice as fast as traditional construction," says Filiol.Matthieu Filiol provides these keys to opt for one option or another:Log houses are simpler and less expensive in terms of price, but they need more maintenance than the rest of the buildings and their lifespan is shorter.But that doesn't mean it's a bad choice.These houses are generally very economical due to the low cost of the materials.In addition, wood is a good insulator and is easy to transport, because it does not weigh much (another aspect that saves money).But as in the case of concrete constructions, the price depends on the characteristics of the house, the size and finish that is desired.The market, in fact, offers prefabricated wooden houses that are very cheap and others quite expensive.The assembly systems of laminates, agglomerates, fibers and natural wood are combined with other thermal insulation systems.For this, a house will be built will be better when better materials are used.The production takes place in the factory, while the assembly can also be completed in the place where the house will be positioned.These constructions have a higher cost in terms of maintenance.Even if there is no need to fear fires or problems with insects, it is still necessary to apply specific treatments to the wood to improve its resistance to bad weather.It is recommended to apply a coat of varnish on the wood.Generally this operation must be done every four years, but a lot depends on factors such as the weather, exposure to the sun or the place where the house is located.In short, we list the advantages offered by this type of accommodation, according to Casas Prefabricadas 24:More and more around the world are opting for 'mini houses' to make the most of their gardens.This is why the alternatives offered by companies operating in this sector are also increasing.This is the case of the company Tru Form Tiny, which is able to create each of its mini houses according to the needs and requests of customers starting from 69,900 dollars (about 67,700 euros at the current exchange rate).Even if it results in an increase in purchase costs, many customers decide to customize these mini houses to their liking and according to their needs, which obviously are modular.The international developer Lendlease has unveiled the West Gate project, the first area to be built in MIND - Milano Innovation District, a laboratory for a city of the future.With an extension of 300 thousand square meters, West Gate is the place where Lendlease will experiment with digital and technological solutions in line with the directives on ecological and digital transition launched by the PNRR, to make MIND a district dedicated to innovation.The first 150 thousand square meters developed in the West Gate will be delivered in 2024, the multifunctional area of ​​a total of 300 thousand square meters, which will be built on the portion of the district closest to the local and national transport networks (underground and high-speed railway lines) and the Fair. Milan.The first testing center for "eco" and digital solutions will meet the highest standards of innovation, technology and sustainability in line with LEED Platinum, WELL Gold and WiredScore Platinum certifications.Whether it is to cover the parking space, or to create a shaded area in the garden, a wooden canopy is a versatile and practical option for different types of needs.Let's find out what are the necessary permits and costs to build a wooden shedIn a context in which the prefabricated house and the commitment to sustainability are gaining ground, interesting and innovative projects continue to emerge that deepen these concepts.This is the line on which DDAA (Dev Desai Architects and Associates) works, a studio founded in 2020 in India, with the aim of responding to some of the challenges that arose in the hardest moments of the pandemic, but also for the new phase that is taking place. it is open later.The DDAA studio was born as a branch of a company specializing in villas and residential interiors that operates from an innovative perspective."DDAA constantly challenges the threshold of architectural design through a unique contemporary language," says Dev Desai, founder and leader of the studio.Living comfort allows us to feel good both physically and psychologically, it is something fundamental for the quality of modern life.Founded in 2021 in San Francisco, the prefabricated home company Spacial Homes has made the pursuit of domestic well-being its fundamental mission, while offering an economic proposal to help solve the problem of the housing shortage in San Francisco, by creating of these fantastic ADUs, multifunctional accessory housing units.Hewing Haus is a small company specializing in the construction of mini houses made with sustainable materials and designed to optimize space.Their proposal aims to facilitate the installation of new housing in both urban and rural areas.On the one hand, with their prefabricated houses they intend to facilitate the installation of ancillary housing units in urban centers, where the density makes it difficult to build new units.But, at the same time, they also want to offer a sustainable alternative with all the comforts to those who choose to leave the city and settle in quieter places, a practice that has been increasing with the outbreak of the pandemic.The Michelangelo hotel in Milan had its swan song rising to the headlines as the first Covid hotel in Italy.But now its time has come: it will in fact be demolished to make way for the new iconic MI.C skyscraper, which will change the face of Piazza Luigi di Savoia as a backdrop to the Central Station.This is how the project, signed by Park Associati, will be.93.5 meters high, the new building will house offices for over two thousand people on its 22 floors above ground.The new building will consist of two adjacent towers that link the complex to its block.“On the ground floor, - describes the studio signing the project, - the building moves back from its maximum height, creating a natural extension of the square.An articulated system of different green spaces that extends from the entrance to the common areas at the top, increases the overall architectural quality of the whole system.A sort of “green thorn” that, starting from the outside, rises in the hall on the ground floor and runs inside the building to take on, in some points, a more relevant dimension that defines natural indoor and outdoor spaces ".
