To the practicality, agility and minimal environmental footprint of having a 205m2 single-family home in twelve weeks and one day, thanks to industrialised construction, we can now add a beautiful architectural execution. Casa Tres Patios is an example of how the manufacturing process of the automotive industry can be transferred to construction, and done with a project that not only adapts to the environment, but also to the biological and emotional needs of those who inhabit it.
With views of the Madrid mountains, for ROOM2030, the project designer, it was essential to “respect the incredible natural environment as much as possible, avoiding interfering with the holm oaks”, in the words of its CEO, Sergio Baragaño. The house is built around the trees, preserving them and seeking out that landscape, through three volumes that create patios and spaces for different and flexible uses depending on the time of year.
Another feature of the work is that it has been designed under bio-healthy standards, something that is reflected beyond the circular and sustainable system of industrialised construction (reducing water consumption, energy consumption, waste generation and the impact on the final site) and reaches the rest equipment and lighting. The interior design has been conceived to promote physical comfort and recovery, and the technical lighting with the aim of respecting circadian rhythms.
Furthermore, the materials chosen follow the bio-healthy line: recycled textile insulation, natural woods… Something that goes from the interior to the exterior of the house with Thermopine Savia lacquered in black on a ventilated facade. “It was the ideal choice to promote integration with the landscape and combination with the large-format porcelain”, explains Baragaño. He points out that “technically, it is a solution that provides the thermal benefits of a ventilated facade and, aesthetically, can be maintained or allowed to evolve towards grey colours, since it has the beauty of a living material”.
Buildings based on industrialised systems, like this 2025 project, are a growing trend for ROOM2030, and one that has been boosted “by the enormous need for housing that we have throughout Europe, and in Spain especially, and which can become a strategic vertical for the country”.
