» Each part of the home has its own character, view, lighting and carefully chosen materials.

 

The homes are placed in a framework construction that also forms the basis for the external gallery and balconies. The underlying framework can be either inte­grated into new buildings or function as a super-­­­­structure on existing houses of various depths.

 

The roof structure is a steel frame with timber collar beams. The kitchen and installation wall acts as room divider with built-in units.

 

The open saddle roof structure creates attractive spacio­us rooms. Under the roof is a useful open loft-style area and at floor level, raised window podiums invite to play and rest. Each part of the home has its own character, view, lighting and carefully chosen mate­rials.

 

The wood and plaster board is silicate-painted with diffusion-permitting breathable surfaces. The zinc “click roof” has vertical rebates naturally suited to roof windows, solar panels and solar cells. The zinc sheets also comprise the upper shell of the innovative roof air heating system.

 

SOLTAG is an important contribution that will help reintroduce saddle roofs as an architectural and techno­logical asset.
