The health centre is designed as a low energy consumption building with a low carbon footprint. A high degree of insulation and a hermetic envelope helps to achieve NZEB standards.

The new health centre is a city fragment situated on the edge of Santa Margalida village. It mediates between two scales: the urban and the rural, and emphasizes the interaction with neighbour buildings. The health centre is designed as a low energy consumption building with a low carbon footprint. A high degree of insulation and a hermetic envelope helps to achieve NZEB standards. The prefabricated cross-laminated-timber structure (CLT) guarantees a fast and precise execution as well as reducing the overall embodied energy. The building’s configuration is based on a structural grid with repetitive elements that promote modularity and the change of distribution and use.
