Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Prefabricated House Yvyra by ENNE ArchitectureJune 11th, 2023 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: ENNE Architecture Since the production of industrialized housing in wood is the activity that adds the greatest value to the local forestry-industry, the business sector asked us to reflect on how the offer for our region could be updated. Homes to be marketed and located in suburban and rural areas. So, for us, the reflection went through how, using the resources available in the industry, we could approach a more appropriate one for our territory, and that of response to contemporary domestic uses. In this way, the problem does not go through an essay on the image, but on how the form is conceived. Understanding the latter as the way in which space is materialized, seeking to synthesize the internal and external complexities of the project, thus enabling contemporary living from a sense of place.

Its ‘transparent middle’ part houses a single room flanked by side galleries. The mechanisms of the openings make it possible for all that ‘media’ to be transformed into a large gallery, a large semi-covered space. Next to it, the ‘opaque media’ contains the most private uses and services. The materialization of this idea consists of a mixed system of plates and post-beam. The first, of great development in the local industry, for the enclosures: floor, ceiling and verticals of the ‘opaque media’. For the ‘transparent media’, the second, since it allows to achieve greater transparency.

Transportation, predominantly manual assembly (only supported by a small crane) and commercial measures of wood, are the variables that determine the dimensions of the parts. For the plates the modulation is 2440 x 3050mm and, for the post-beam, the maximum length is 3050mm. The plates are joined by inserting their uprights, which are then covered with flashing. The parts of the other system are sections made up of boards, which are linked to the plates, and to each other, by means of industrialized metal inserts or connectors. Thus, prefabrication makes it possible to accelerate construction times: fifteen days of manufacture and fifteen days of assembly; and, minimize the unwanted environmental impacts, existing in any work.

Faced with such spatial friction with the outside, the rest of the components could be dispensed with. Perhaps this is what we inherit from vernacular archetypes like the jovai butt, and not their repeated tripartite plant composition. Undoubtedly, understanding the relationships of these architectures with the context helps us to understand and apprehend the local landscape, to value contemporary domestic production in all its dimensions. And, in this way, arrive at a product-home that synthesizes the variables in its spaces: technique, uses and belonging to a landscape.
