A housing module made by students that has already received an award

The democratization of the construction process current is an essential priority. Polluting construction systems, inefficiency in labor, and variability in costs and times are common obstacles when trying to build.

For this reason, our vision is not limited to a simple home, but to a system that enables the creation of a diversity of homes. This system is based on three pillars of change.

First, we choose to use phenolic wood (18mm) due to its availability in the market and its sustainability as it comes from a renewable natural source.

Secondly, the construction process is based on assemblages similar to those of the construction game “Rasti”.

This leads to a simple assemblyallowing anyone, regardless of experience, to build their own home.

In addition, it guarantees security and speed in the execution of the project. The dry construction and the absence of additives contribute to significantly reducing construction times.

Thirdly, we incorporate cutting-edge technology such as CNC mechanized to create precise assembly parts, which ensures industrialization and efficiency in both time and costs.

This approach not only allows adopting more efficient construction methodsbut also address crucial issues within the industry.

By offering a sustainable and effective alternative to conventional methods, we open the doors to innovation and equitable access to housing solutions.

The combination of environmentally friendly materials, simplified construction methods and cutting-edge technology paves the way towards a future where construction is agile, affordable and sustainable.

This approach revolutionizes not only our perception of housing, but also contributes to a inclusive vision and holistic architecture.

Roofti was a project designed for the convocation TIIC Camarco 2022 obtaining the highest award and recognition in the student category.

TIIC is an initiative of the Argentine Chamber of Construction which invites university and technical school students to present projects, ideas or ventures that can provide solutions to different problems in the construction industry.

These innovative ideas in the academic field could be developed as ventures linked to the construction industry.

In this sense, the project proposes the maximum use of urban surfaces already built and in disuse.

Roofti, as a habitable built module and thanks to its flexibility of uses and constructive simplicityproposes increasing the urban m2 for housing, collective and private use without using new surfaces.

An example of this is the soil reuse open access to the technical terraces of any residential building.

The module is differentiated by its possibility of fractional packagingits built-in construction and the no need for specialized labor, which allows you to easily reach these places.
