GMG will build a passive wooden house in Matadepera

We already have a building permit to start work on a passive house built with wood in Matadepera. After the success obtained with the wooden house that we completed last year in Bellver de Cerdanya, we have proposed to some customers to make this construction solution their own. The detached house must respond to a second life cycle of a family that is still in the stage of emancipation of the children and that, once completed, their usual house would be too big for them. Customers have asked us for a much smaller and more sustainable home. At GMG we proposed to make a house with low energy consumption, with photovoltaic energy production and to build it with materials of low environmental impact. The program consists of two bedrooms and a multi-purpose study, all developed on the ground floor to promote accessibility and a small loft. It also has a garage for a single vehicle, two bathrooms, a laundry room, a living room-dining room-kitchen communicating with an outside porch that will have the function of a summer dining room and that is in contact with a swimming pool, so used to enjoy one, they didn’t want to give it up in this second home. We built the structure of the house with CLT wood panels. Inside, the structural wood itself will be visible in most spaces. On the outside, all the walls will be covered with a Sate of rock wool and a stucco finish, to integrate with the more traditional constructions of the town. We have just decided whether we will finish the roof with zinc or with flat ceramic tiles, and we will have photovoltaic panels that are able to support the energy demand of the house. DHW production will be carried out by an aerothermic system while heating and cooling will be produced with direct expansion heat pumps with low-speed air circulation. We plan to start the works during the fourth quarter of the year, once the bidding process with the construction companies is complete.
