Ignacio Rojas Hirigoyen Arquitectos and The Andes House joined forces to create modular homes that can be configured and modified to build low-cost homes.
In a time where the housing crisis is accelerating day by day, the Industrialized Construction System Prototype is an ingenious solution manufactured by Cromulux in Santiago, and whose final assembly is carried out in the town of Casablanca, Chile.
The prototype was conceived to provide a response to the urgent global housing crisis.
We decided to build a house as the first prototype of the Construction System, but with these parts and pieces that work like a 'LEGO', any other typology can be designed and built.

The prototype house Phone Number List includes a thick, stratified wood fiber panel that is expanded with “ wooden submodules that are joined together using a system of closures and wedges .” This, in turn, forms a base or building blocks for floors, ceilings and walls. All of this creates the modular coordination of steel and wood carpentry without excess material, and where each piece has its own place and function.
All panels have been placed and installed within a lightweight structure constructed from recycled steel.
The structure measures by m, in turn building a house that occupies m . The panels have been coated with a vapor barrier and corrugated metal plates, which provide ventilation to the façade.
The roof has a rather gable shape and is made of metal. It forms a striking triangular truss at the top of the house.
Under its wide eaves, a draft is achieved that brings fresh air inside through the windows located below them. It also serves as a condensation fog catcher, which allows water to be collected and supports the solar panels for an electrical scheme that is % isolated from the grid.

The interiors of the house include two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open dining, living and kitchen space. The house also has a wastewater treatment system. The prototype construction process was fluid, efficient and agile. It took four crew members, a bunch of wrenches and screwdrivers, and a crane.
