Innovative Systems in all SmartHomes

Using a concrete prefab system, and a portfolio of systems reinvented from traditional construction, such as movable partitions, baseboards for installations, or double woodwork as galleries, homes can be developed as they are lived in. Homes can, at first, be wide, diaphanous spaces, because both the partitions and the perimetral installation systems are designed for this possibility.

Another of this system’s innovative features is the speed of implementation: the pods are stacked in two days and the home is installed. The pods have dimensions of 3 metres in height, 6 metres width, and 1.2 m base, and can be stacked up to 3 m high. Assembly is done in the workshop, where finishes are added. When ready, they are transported in trucks and stacked using a crane on the plot to set up the home.

Different pod features determine our 3 great ranges: MICRO with sloped roof and small surface-area, CLASSIC with flat roof for narrow plots, and MAXI with flat roof for wide plots.

In distinction to other systems, these concrete injection chassis are organized with 4 fundamental axes, giving us an unbeatable spatial quality: Transparencies. Smartliving incorporates visuals that cross the house from inside to outside, relating the interior to the exterior. Diagonals. Smartliving configures its pods to create diagonals inside the houses to make them more spacious. Hallways. Smartliving makes passage-spaces bigger, gaining another room from areas that would be hallways. Patios. Smartliving builds up its pods to leave interior courtyards between rooms.

The pod building system adds a high level of thermal insulation, preventing energy loss in winter and heat from entering in summer. As separate pods, direct sound transmission is prevented, thus improving acoustic insulation. Smart homes also use passive energy systems, e.g. the thermal inertia of the concrete.

Each home has an aerothermal heat system, i.e. renewable energy is used instead of fossil fuels. They have Class A energy performance rating.

Smart homes offer owners smart function settings for lighting, blinds, heating/cooling and security which are controlled via a smartphone or tablet application.
