Performance comparison
The LeapHome construction system makes
use of truly innovative solutions. Our ongoing
research and the experience gained in the
harsh context of high-altitude have led
us to produce components that have a
performance far beyond those normally
used both in traditional and prefabricated
construction. The external walls of the
LeapHome shell are so efficient in terms of
insulating capacity and reduced thickness
that revolutionises the typical parameters of
incidence between built surface and internal
usable space. A great advantage for the
overall efficiency; a step forward in reducing
the environmental impact.

The models
frame
A simple design for an iconic form with great
expressive strength. The wooden portal
supporting structure rhythmically defines
the internal space and supports the internal
fixtures. The size of the system can vary: two
widths at 6,8 and 8,4 metres and a modular
length at a 1,2 metre pitch. The height can
be one or two floors high. We propose
different internal configurations and it is
possible to have personalised fittings.

efficiency, which provides substantial comfort and
reduced energy consumption”

landscape
An extremely flexible program, designed
for the enjoyment of the surrounding nature
and to maximise the benefits of bio-climatic
dynamics.
The main façade faces south and is protected
from direct summer sunlight by the wide eaves
of the single pitched roof. The outer shell can
be produced to choice between opaque and
glazed for its whole extension. It opens the
interior space in continuity with the porticoes
and the garden.
The elegant wooden supporting structure
defines the interior space keeping it free from
given obstructions and allowing for many
different distributive layouts.
