Wooden House Pineta    -  completed 2016

It is basically a dry construction, without any need of concrete (apart from the base): just solid timber panels, metal plates and timber floor. I tend to prefer X-lam construction instead of timber frame, due to its mass, which provides a better performance in the summer months. A house built in solid wood is warm in the winter, cool in the summer, safe and always extremely comfortable! This house was built in just 3 months on the outskirts of Umbertide, using X-lam (crossed laminated timber) 10cm.thick and with a deep insulation of 16cm. It has underfloor heating fed by an electrical heat pump, solar panels to produce hot water and photovoltaic panels to produce electricity. An eco-friendly, energy efficient home designed by architect Marco Carlini.
