WHAT IS THE MADE-TO-FIT BUILDING SYSTEM ?
a standardized complete building system
using a minimum amount of resources
based on an all-in-one concept that makes sense
with easy assembly and later possible disassembly, designed for healthy homes that can be
in harmony with nature and Gaia
- point foundation
- floor elements 800x800 mm incl. required pre piping
- corner elements 1200 mm incl. required pre piping
- outer wall elements 400x800 mm “ready to move in”
- outer wall elements with integrated natural ventilation
- roof elements 800x800 mm “ready to move in”
- roof elements with integrated light tunnel
- inner wall elements 400x800 mm “ready to move in”
- insulation and natural ventilation as required
- 18º roof pitch - ideal with green / sedum roof
- design life >120 years
- static documentation included
- designed in all details based on common sense
WHAT IS THE STAND-ALONE GARAGE CONCEPT ?
to ensure a healthy home, all technical
equipment is placed in a stand-alone garage
enabling an autonomous dwelling
- collection of rainwater
- wastewater recycling and treatment
- solar heating system
- electricity production from solar and
other available technologies
- electricity storage in NiFe batteries
- heat storage in water
- recycling system
- minimized EMF radiation
- heat supply for orangery
- minimum maintenance requirements
WHY A WOODEN HOUSE ?
plywood and glulam are used to ensure that
the building is form stable, resistant to wood
decay and can breathe
WHY IS ROBINIA WOOD USED ?
it is common sense to use the right type of wood
for the right purpose therefore gluelam of
robinia pseudoacacia has been chosen
for the building envelope because
it grows faster than any other known hardwood tree,
it requires minimal maintenance,
it is self-impregnating and has great durability
and high breaking strength
WHY ARE DOWELS USED FOR THE ASSEMBLY ?
as all materials used in a building have different frequencies, this has been optimized to create harmonious buildings with the highest possible frequency
all materials are selected according to this criteria
and the assembly is made with wooden dowels
- like our ancestors used taps
for assembling constructions
since iron has a lower frequency than wood
a minimum of screws and nails are used
in addition makes dowel assembly
any disassembly of the building possible
