Description
Summary:Both buildings are an interesting experiment in building for subarctic climate, and in the problem of making modern buildings in a non traditional environment. The whole project has been made with precast «Siporex» units, and it constitutes a highly attractive urban unit, which has all the advantages of comfort and isolation. Ambas edificaciones constituyen una interesante y acertada experiencia de construcción en un clima «subártico» y en la solución del problema de levantar edificios modernos en un ambiente tradicional. Todo el conjunto se ha construido con elementos prefabricados a base de «Siporex», presentando un entorno urbanístico sumamente atractivo, además de reunir todas las ventajas apetecibles de comodidad y aislamiento.
