The Pro House is an open housing system that allows us to generate a wide variety of final outcomes with the use of only three basic pieces. The first two contain the day and night program of the house, the third the circulation performing as a “kneecap”. The combination, repetition and movement of the two program pieces, both in plan and in section, make the system adapt to the geometry of any site, and generate a prototype expandable over time. On the technical level we took three major solutions: the interpretation and application of traditional bioclimatic strategies in order to achieve low energy demand; the use of recyclable and high-efficient materials produced in factory creates a minimum environmental impact; the system is complemented by low cost bioclimatic elements such as industrial wood pergolas and shutters in order to provide an affordable and economical system of housing.


The first Pro House becomes a verification of the project flexibility pursued on the previous research.

La Casa Pro es un sistema de vivienda unifamiliar que nos permite generar una amplia variedad de resultados finales con el único uso de tres piezas básicas. Las dos primeras contienen los programas de día y de noche de la casa, la tercera contiene la circulación y funciona como una rótula. La combinación, la repetición y el movimiento de las dos piezas del programa, tanto en planta como en sección, hacen que el sistema se adapte a la geometría de cualquier solar y genere un prototipo ampliable en el tiempo. En el nivel técnico adoptamos tres soluciones principales: la interpretación y aplicación de estrategias bioclimáticas tradicionales a fin de lograr una baja demanda energética; el uso de materiales altamente eficientes y reciclables producidos en fábrica para generar el mínimo impacto ambiental y por último, complementar con sistemas sostenibles de bajo coste, como pérgolas y persianas de madera prefabricadas. El objetivo es proporcionar un sistema de vivienda asequible y económico.


La primera Casa Pro, en Lleida, se convierte en una comprobación de la flexibilidad del proyecto fruto de la investigación anterior.
