To enter wanting to see an interesting project and modern based on cardboard architecture , We start with its interior design that enhances the architecture of a very cozy minimalist house based on laminates of wood throughout the environment that make up pleasant sensations.
This is the Wikkelhouse project, a new way of understanding sustainable materials and in>the houses of cardboard modern from the perspective in which they Build the structure of the house. Constructions in cardboard and with good design!
Actually it is like a "slice of bread", that is, the structure of the house is formed by modules that are coupled adapting to the needs of the future customer, although this concept is not for nothing new (See manufactured homes), if in the form in that the structure of the home of cardboard , which is made up of 24 layers of cardboard corrugated.
To better understand how they make the house of cardboard and its process, the following images are quite revealing of the construction process in the adaptation of the prefabricated cardboard houses .
Four years of research and development has led to a pioneering construction technology involving a rotation of the mould. The cardboard structure is builds on a spinning metal chassis while layer by layer of sheets of cartonage is deposited to obtain the mold that defines the shape of the house.
A robust sandwich structure that has of optimal insulation qualities and that meets fully with the philosophy of recycling, with a waterproofing outer layer that covers the entire box, from the ceiling to the floor. The modules are designed to last about fifty years, and whose weight per mold – structure, it is extremely light compared to a conventional structure, with a weight of approximately 500 kg
