| Resumo: | [EN] Undoubtedly, Concretus House is a dwelling inspired in the brutalist style of bêton brut of Le Corbusier. Austere, unpretentious, making a point and acting on what is truly necessary. Crude but noble, Concretus House is honesty and austerity in one. Apart from all the planning requirements, at it’s conception many technological concepts were incorporated to obtain a superior level of sustainability, energetic efficiency and structural mechanics behaviour. From its conception, the how and the where of Concretus House were always considered. The object was to optimise, adapt and to schedule the building process to achieve an exalted aesthetic work of architecture under the premise of maintaining strict adherence to the costings and completion of works date. It´s important to recognise how necessary all the tests were with respect to the concrete itself, it´s formula, formworks, execution and stages of construction. Bear in mind that all of the slabs, and all that enveloped the building itself including all the internal dividing walls were formed in exposed concrete. All the installations and facilities were embedded within the concrete and not a single brick was used within it. |
