House in Arruda Dos Vinhos
This projects deals with the reconstruction of a small building in ruins in an area classified as green belt. The project uses the same materials of the ruined building (stone, earth and wood) but re-ordered: a wood structure filled with local earth (wattle and daub); the stone coming from the demolition will be used in the foundations and surrounding area. Otherwise, the architects associated natural materials (wood, earth and cork panels) with industrial ones (concrete, metal, glass and polycarbonate).
The architects built a section of the projected wall at a natural scale as a prototype. There is a wood structure (20×10 cm wood columns spaced every 60 cm) with stabilising wood poles forming an x cross. The inside of this structure is filled with earth, giving the wall high thermal inertia. The external side of the wall is covered first with panels of cork agglomerate, 5 cm thick, for thermal insulation, followed, on top of that, by corrugated polycarbonate sheets. The inside of the wall is covered with wood planks, with a trapezoidal cross section, 5 cm wide, every other 10 cm.
On the 7Th of March 2007 the local council of Arruda-dos-Vinhos, 35 km Northeast of Lisbon, Portugal, issued a permit for the reconstruction of a small house in typical vineyard countryside. It was the final step of a 13 month licensing process.
