CASE PREFABBRICATE: INVESTIRE NELL’INVOLUCRO

IL PREZZO DEL PETROLIO CONTINUA AD OSCILLARE E CON ESSO IL COSTO DELLE BOLLETTE ENERGETICHE. PER IL FUTURO LE PREVISIONI INDICANO CHE IL RISCALDAMENTO E IL RAFFRESCAMENTO DEI NOSTRI ALLOGGI GRAVERANNO SEMPRE PIÙ SUI BILANCI FAMILIARI RENDENDO INDISPENSABILE CORRERE AI RIPARI. LE CASE PREFABBRICATE IN LEGNO POSSONO FORNIRE UNA RISPOSTA MODERNA E COLLAUDATA AL TEMA DEL RISPARMIO ENERGETICO, MA NON SOLO.

Altrettanto grave è la questione ambientale. Gran parte delle emissioni di CO2 delle nostre città (senza tener conto di altri agenti inquinanti) dipende proprio dalle abitazioni residenziali. Il protocollo di Kyoto è finora lo strumento più importante per combattere i cambiamenti climatici. Esso contiene l'impegno di gran parte dei paesi industrializzati a ridurre mediamente del 5% le emissioni di alcuni gas ad effetto serra, responsabili del riscaldamento del pianeta. Grazie a questa spinta propulsiva sono sempre più gli incentivi verso il comune cittadino per dotare la propria abitazione di pannelli solari (termici e fotovoltaici), impianti geotermici, pompe di calore, caldaie a condensazione ad alto rendimento, impianti di riscaldamento a pavimento a bassa temperatura.
case in legno, case prefabbricateNel giro di pochi anni, grazie anche all’introduzione di incentivi fiscali e detrazioni con le varie finanziarie, si è assistito in Italia ad un aumento esponenziale degli investimenti in questo settore, con una tendenza in costante ascesa, anche se in notevole ritardo rispetto ad altri paesi europei (Germania in particolare). Finalmente la questione energetica ed ambientale “fanno notizia” e il cittadino ha la possibilità di informarsi su riviste e televisioni e visitare le molte fiere del settore, dove può incontrare direttamente anche molte aziende di case in legno.
L’opinione comune, certamente condivisibile, è che questo tipo di impianti sia da considerare una forma di investimento nel tempo, con un ritorno economico preciso che va da 3-4 anni per il solare termico sino ai 12 circa per il solare fotovoltaico. Le stesse banche prevedono specifiche forme di finanziamento, dei veri e propri mutui, in particolare per l’acquisto dei pannelli per produzione di energia elettrica.
Uno scenario estremamente positivo, ma con un aspetto paradossale. Infatti così facendo diventiamo in qualche modo produttori di energia, ma continuiamo a consumare molto. Per quanto riguarda le abitazioni esistenti la detrazione del 55% per la riqualificazione energetica degli edifici ha portato a buoni risultati soprattutto con la sostituzione dei serramenti e l’isolamento a cappotto esterno. Tale bonus però riguarda solamente la ristrutturazione, escludendo gli edifici di nuova costruzione dai benefici fiscali (pensiamo peraltro alle eventuali conseguenze del Dlgs 185).
Le prestazioni energetiche degli edifici di nuova costruzione sono comunque normate dalla Legge 311/06 e tuttavia il privato cittadino sente assai meno il problema in quanto viene a mancare l'incentivo degli sgravi finanziari. Gli alti costi dei terreni e dell’edilizia in generale incidono pesantemente sul prezzo finale dei fabbricati. E per risparmiare si preferisce ancor oggi penalizzare la qualità degli edifici (in qualche modo l’unico parametro su cui poter agire). Se il ragionamento può essere in minima parte comprensibile (non certo condivisibile) quando a costruire sono imprese o società immobiliari, diventa del tutto insensato se diventa una scelta del privato cittadino. Preferiamo magari spendere eventuali extra per il parquet in listoni anticati o il bagno di firma, a scapito dell’isolamento dell’edificio (tanto poi metteremo i pannelli solari).
Eppure è persino banale. Se la casa è ben coibentata avrà bisogno di un riscaldamento minimo (e magari non servirà neppure l’aria condizionata d’estate), con risparmi energetici altissimi, soprattutto se sarà destinata ad essere l'abitazione di una vita.
Alcuni impianti (ad esempio il riscaldamento a pavimento a bassa temperatura, oggi giustamente così diffuso) rendono molto con case ben isolate, come le case prefabbricate in legno, ma risultano spesso del tutto insufficienti in una casa mal coibentata, dandoci una spiacevole sensazione di freddo e facendoci rimpiangere i vecchi radiatori tradizionali.
L’aria condizionata in una abitazione in legno ad alto rendimento è del tutto inutile e solitamente non viene offerta nemmeno come optional, poiché non verranno mai raggiunte alte temperature al suo interno, neanche nelle giornate più afose, a tutto beneficio del benessere, della vivibilità e … del portafogli.
Nonostante ciò investire nell’involucro non è “di moda”. Chi si avvicina al settore delle case prefabbricate lo fa con spirito pionieristico e grande lungimiranza, eppure le case in legno ripagano nel tempo la spesa sostenuta con gli interessi. Pensiamoci quando ci troveremo a soppesare i pro e i contro tra le case prefabbricate e quelle tradizionale in muratura.

Given the generous size of the kitchen, the space needed to be careful divided into individual work zones. This is accomplished by creating two islands with distinct functions. The main island features a prep sink and pull-out trash, while the secondary island encourages guests to visit without getting in the cook’s way. The main sink under the window serves as the principal clean-up area with two dishwashers. Pull-out pilasters next to the sink even conceal the dishtowels. Finally, a small peninsula veers toward the family room to house refrigerator drawers, an ice maker and bar sink for guest’s beverages.

How do you tell if a particular kitchen is Japanese or not? Hmm… when you have robots to watch over what you cook and have trendy cartoons adorning the wall, you KNOW it’s

Best Trendy Japanese Kitchens
The above images are of the 2 freshly released ones from the Core line of kitchens from Japanese kitchen maker Tokyo Kitchens.
The Core concept is based on ‘Living in the kitchen’. Brings togethor cooking eating and relaxing togethor in the kitchen.The design image was inspired by Laputa, the flying island in Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift and the movie Castle in the Sky by Hayao Miyazaki.
And it’s not just robots and cartoons actually. Tokyo Kitchens have other outstanding kitchens in their lineup. Check out images below.

All the kitchens shown above fall in the modern category. Not all Japanese kitchens follow the same style. Infact, in Japan, where land is very expensive and plots too small flexible and multipurpose rooms are only too common. Take a look at the one below which incorporates a bedroom and study too!

PERCHE’ LE CASE PREFABBRICATE IN LEGNO

LA GUIDA ALLE CASE PREFABBRICATE IN LEGNO E’ UN SERVIZIO DIVULGATIVO E NON E’ IL MIO OBIETTIVO CONVINCERE NESSUNO A PRIVILEGIARE QUESTI EDIFICI RISPETTO A QUELLI TRADIZIONALI. COME TUTTE LE TECNOLOGIE, ESISTONO I PRO E I CONTRO, CHE ANDRANNO ANALIZZATI IN RAPPORTO ALLE PERSONALI ESIGENZE.

Gentile Architetto, ho avuto il tempo e la pazienza di leggere tutti i suoi interessantissimi articoli e ammetto che sta nascendo in noi l’interesse ad avvicinarci alle case prefabbricate, ma … confesso pure che sinora lo scetticismo prevale sull’entusiasmo.
Un conto è parlarne ed informarsi, un altro è spendere i nostri sudati risparmi per acquistare una casa in legno.
Insomma, mi di lei mi fido, ma…. glielo chiedo seccamente. Perché dovrei comperare una casa prefabbricata al posto di una solida abitazione in muratura?

case in legno, case prefabbricate, case ecologiche, case a basso consumoRisposta altrettanto secca. E’ così convinto della solidità di quell’edificio?
Quali sono le caratteristiche che dovrebbe avere l’abitazione ideale? L’elenco è lungo, ma provo a buttare li qualche termine alla rinfusa.
Qualità costruttiva, durata nel tempo, robustezza, stabilità statica, costruzione ecologica, sicurezza, tenuta al fuoco, antisismicità, isolamento termico, isolamento acustico, traspirabilità, salubrità dell’aria, funzionalità, luminosità, buone finiture, buon rapporto qualità-prezzo, costi di costruzione certi, tempi di costruzione brevi e, soprattutto, certi, alta rivendibilità sul mercato.
Una lista del tutto parziale, ci mancherebbe, senz’altro arricchibile con un minimo di impegno, ma sufficiente a rivoltarle la domanda. Dove collocherebbe la maggior parte delle abitazioni in muratura realizzate negli ultimi anni nel nostro paese? Vogliamo parlare del livello costruttivo di molta edilizia prodotta dalle fantomatiche società immobiliari e vendute ad alto prezzo durante i recenti anni del boom del mattone? O, ancora, della durata nel tempo di tante case costruite negli anni 80-90, bisognose di pesanti interventi di ristrutturazione, senza isolamenti e realizzate con materiali del tutto anti-ecologici. Parliamo del concetto di confort termico applicato ad edifici freddi d’inverno e roventi d’estate, dei ponti termici e delle coperture in laterocemento non coibentate.
Le case prefabbricate hanno innegabilmente i loro pregi, ma anche i loro limiti, di cui ho parlato a più riprese senza alcun problema. Le ditte di case in legno sono consigliabili in molti casi, ma in taluni altri converrà affidarsi ad una buona impresa tradizionale. Rispondono pressoché in pieno ai punti che le ho sopra elencato e penso che valga sempre più la pena di riflettere sulle risposte, oggettivamente non sempre efficaci, che l’edilizia del laterocemento dovrà dare da subito per fornire soluzioni valide in tema di isolamento termico, confort bioclimatico, bioedilizia, gestione chiara dei prezzi e della durata dei cantieri.
La produzione in serie delle case prefabbricate in legno assicura al cliente uno standard qualitativo dell’abitazione sempre alto e costante. Le case con difetti gravi sono rare e coperte dai 30 anni di garanzia. Possiamo dire altrettanto per il settore dell’edilizia tradizionale, afflitto dalla crisi economica, da costi crescenti, mancanza di innovazione e da uno scadimento qualitativo incontestabile? A fronte di ottime realizzazioni (a costi "adeguati"), i problemi costruttivi restano tutt’altro che sporadici e, soprattutto, resta l’indifferenza verso i temi dell’ecologia e del risparmio energetico.

Kitchen design ideas

The kitchen is the centre of any house and a place that we all visit a number of times every day. When entertaining, it becomes a focal point of preparation and is increasingly incorporated in open plan living areas to create a sense of inclusion and space. Even small kitchens can be given a new outlook simply by opening them out onto an adjoining dining or living area with the removal of a single wall.

When considering a kitchen design for both small kitchens or larger areas, any renovation or upgrade will need to consider workflow (the classic "triangle" between your sink, fridge and stove), kitchen appliances, cupboards, cabinets, island benches, galley-style areas and especially kitchen benchtops.

Kitchen flooring is always a hard-wearing and easy-to-clean surface such as tiles or hard timber floorboards.

Kitchen benchtops (granite, Laminex, stone, acrylic-based surfaces, etc) are an extremely visible component and much consideration should be given to light or dark shades that can transform the look of any kitchen. They may also dictate other components like your appliances, kitchen cabinets, handles and more. When it comes to kitchen cupboards, be aware of how light plays off the surfaces on those below benchtops - you may find that using a different surface colour will be appropriate for those under and over benches.

Luxury Hotel Interior Design i-SHUITE in Barranquilla (Colombia)


Some information about this luxury hotel interior design inspiration i-SUITE by Simone Micheli, Photos by Jürgen Eheim :
The i-SUITE interior architectural plan lies its foundations in the concept of modern luxury I developed after a thorough and targeted thinking. During the “XXX Congreso Colombiano de Arquitectura” ( 30th Colombian Architecture Convention) which took place in Barranquilla (Colombia) in 2007 I asserted: “ the new luxury does not mean immobility or habit, but rather freedom and movement. It is a light and a stirring thought, at any moment we are able to choose where and how to live and to reinvent the environment we live in.

As for architecture the new luxury is related to the idea of regaining the beauties and the truth of our daily life together with our inner feelings. It is more connected with vacuums than with plenums, more with mind than with body. It does not mean opulence but rather transparency. I am talking about possible places where yours and our histories are echoing in the shape of visual, olfactory, tactile and auditory essence. I am telling you a story which has its roots in the past and in the tastes of exotic places but at the same time it is near and next future oriented. This future I am referring to is not made up of mimesis, emulation but rather it reprensents the truth and the oneness which envelope and protect us in order to live instead of just surviving in a restless and alienating reality. I am talking about non-places, natural habitats where the deepest and the most genuine personality of each person emerges and where anyone can establish a symbiotic relationship with himself and with the nature which created us.

It has visual and inner harmony, it is the mirror of our mood which becomes calmer and stabler. Spirituality and beauty involve us in a aesthetic experience with all that is around us and with all we build with our body and mind. All this leads to the birth of a new place suitable for the inner growth but also for the development of our present or future family which is proud and grateful for having the chance of enjoying the cohesiveness the family is surrounded by. Daily relations and interactions as well will benefit from this cohesiveness by being enriched with passion and enthusiasm.
