Prefabrication allied to contemporary architecture
Faberhaus adheres to very precise architectural principles, ingeniously marrying good design with efficiency and quality prefabrication, for a home that blends perfectly into its setting.
- Main façade is south oriented at an angle of ±15 degrees.
- 10-20% of the total living space is glassed on south-facing side to optimize solar energy.
- A maximum of 4% of total living space is devoted to windows on the other sides (north, east and west facing).
- Positioning of windows aids natural ventilation in summer
- An exterior device controls the amount of summer sun reaching the glazing (sunscreen or eaves).
- Windows and exterior siding prefabricated in the factory.
- Built on concrete slab (no basement) to eliminate risks of mould and mildew (these dark, damp rooms are not ideal).
- Areas of possible future expansion designed into the plan.
- Exterior finishing materials non-imitative and approved by Faberca.
And we favour contemporary architectural lines:
- Flat roofs and roof terraces
- Part of house on stilts
- Open floor plan with few load-bearing walls or partitions
- Extended windows
- Free façades
- No unnecessary ornamentation
- Clean lines
