A-cero Architecture studio, directed by Joaquin Torres introduces a modular architecure product on the market, based on the standards of Industrialized Construction. Applying the same standardization procedures to the construction, modularity, technology, quality control and time spaces that are applied to other many fields of human activity. The most evident example being the production of automobiles, with already more than one century of exposition of chain production by Henry Ford. Benefiting from the same advantages, with production in factory and assembly on development plot, less time and more specialized labour, increase the results as far as quality and price, not comparable with the final product of tradional construction, demanding greater control in the initial phrase of design, since absolutely everything must be designed and controlled beforehand, space for improvisation being existent.
A-cero’s bet for Industrialized Construction being, initially two house models with two and three bedrooms with extremely fitted cast and final price have been developed very special attention has been taken care of with the distribution and the inhabitable spaces. Proof to the previous being construction of a pilot home in Pozuelo de Alarcon Madrid with the simultaneous study of several orders. A-cero also offers the possibility of having your house fully furnished and equipped as wel as including a garden and a pool.
There will be two types of housing 82 m2 for 69,000 Eur and 107 m2 for 89,000 Eur. With a 15 week construction period. Both are fully equipped and completed including bathrooms, kitchen, heating and lighting, which pass to be 8,000 Eur and 110,000 Eur respectively for fully furnished option, these quantities can be financed through a mortgage loan as if it were traditional building housing. As indecated by Joaquin Torres such a system is not exclusive for residential construction, but the same system could subsequently be applied to other construction typologies such as school, offices, student and elderly residence.
With this challenge A-cero bets on popularizing the design and constructive quality in the architecture, in finding that the architecture design is not exclusive for cultural and economic elite.
this building has nothing amazing to tell me….not very important architecture ,but very nice 3d renderings and nice minimal aspects.
