Semi-detached prefabricated house ⌂ Riva San Vitale/CH

In Riva San Vitale in Switzerland, Domprojekt built two adjacent prefabricated two-storey houses, confirmation that it builds and delivers houses far beyond Croatia's borders. Flat roofs, light grey rendered facades with large dark glass walls and glass balcony balustrades give them a clean, urban look, while covered terraces on the ground floor open the space to the yard, and the plots are fenced and closed off by a concrete retaining wall along the road. A steep wooded hill rises in the background. The houses are built with dry prefabricated technology from ready-made elements, so construction is fast, precise and possible throughout the year. The robust timber structure is engineered to European standards for the specific location and resistant to earthquakes, fire, snow and wind, while the fully insulated envelope guarantees low running costs in the demanding Alpine climate. Swiss projects like this one best confirm the top quality of prefab houses from Croatia.
