A building envelope is the physical separator between the conditioned and unconditioned environment of a building including the resistance to air, water, heat, light, and noise transfer.

 

So, how to make an ecological envelope to our cross laminated structure? Our choice was to make strictly with organic materials?

 

The puzzle building has inertia thanks to its green roofs and natural sand fitted under a technical floor and it’s insulated with fiberboard from wood.

 

The last skin of the ventilated facade is made with natural wooden louvers that follow the building movement, as well as the ropes that will use the plants to climb and protect the houses from sun and give intimacy.
