FAQ's

Evolution House is a modular and expandable housing concept designed to grow according to the owner's needs over time. Built with sustainable materials, it can be easily adapted or expanded, while maintaining high quality and efficiency.

An Evolution House KIT is a comprehensive package containing all the essential components needed to construct the structural shell of an Evolution House. These kits are designed to simplify the building process, making it faster, more efficient, and accessible, whether you’re a professional builder, architect, or even a self-builder.

Simplifies Construction: Everything you need for the structural shell is included, reducing the need for sourcing individual materials. Fast Assembly: Designed for quick assembly, often achievable by just two people. Flexibility: Allows for future expansions without needing to rely on our company, giving homeowners control over the growth of their house. Sustainability: Uses eco-friendly materials like wood, cork, and hemp to minimize environmental impact. Quality Assurance: Pre-fabricated components ensure precision, durability, and consistent quality. Cost Efficiency: Reduces construction time and potential delays, lowering overall project costs. The Evolution House KIT is the core of your home, providing the structure and framework needed to create a durable, sustainable, and adaptable living space.

The Evolution House is designed to be modular, allowing owners to add units as their needs change. The construction process is efficient and quick, and the design is flexible for future adaptations over time. Furthermore, clients are not dependent on our company to expand their homes. The modular design allows for independent growth, meaning homeowners can add new sections themselves or with the help of other professionals. This flexibility makes it possible to build the house in stages across multiple generations, adapting to the evolving needs of families over time.

Pre-cut Timber Structure: All structural wood elements, precisely cut and ready for assembly. Insulation Materials: Sustainable insulation options like hemp and cork for optimal thermal and acoustic performance. Cladding Materials: Options for external cladding, such as cork boards, lime-based plasters, or ventilated facade components. Hardware and Fasteners: All necessary screws, connectors, and fittings to assemble the structure securely. Detailed Instructions: Comprehensive step-by-step guides and diagrams to facilitate assembly. Optional Extras: Additional features like ventilation systems, foundation guidelines, and roof components tailored to the chosen design

The Evolution House primarily uses wood for the structural framework, combined with sustainable materials like cork, hemp, celluloses, clay, lime and ceramics. This combination ensures durability, thermal and acoustic insulation, and a reduced ecological footprint.

These are not "wooden houses", as you can see on our House section. We use wooden structures, as has been used for centuries, but the rest of the house is made from many other materials, such as cork, special plasters, natural lime, stone, clay or plaster. However, we can also make the exterior walls from wood as decorative arts if you wish.

Sustainability as a renewable resource. Natural insulation for thermal comfort. Lightweight yet strong properties. Design flexibility for modular growth. Fast assembly due to prefabrication. Fire resistance through charred layers. Health benefits by regulating humidity and preventing bacteria growth. Durability when properly treated.

The Evolution House offers various customization options for design and finishes. Clients can choose different types of cladding, interior finishes, and details according to their tastes and needs.

It depends on whether it is a model from our catalogue or a completely new project, as it will mainly depend on the time it takes to design and approve the project by the client. This is followed by the licensing process from the local authority and after that we begin the entire process of producing the house. ​We have houses built in 2 weeks and recently we built a 140 m2 house in 5 weeks, with two floors, two bedrooms with bathroom, living room and kitchen, fully decorated, furnished and equipped. ​The preparation and manufacturing time of the structure usually takes 3 to 4 weeks. ​In total, if you use one of our models, we can estimate a minimum of 2 to 3 months to be able to move into your home, as it depends on the time it takes to approve the project and the local authority licensing.

Yes, Evolution House offers flexibility in selecting finishes to match your style and preferences. While we provide a range of eco-friendly and high-quality materials as standard options, you are welcome to customize your finishes, such as flooring, wall treatments, and cabinetry, to create a home that reflects your personal taste. Our team will guide you to ensure your choices align with the sustainable vision of Evolution House.

Yes, you can choose your own builder to assemble Evolution House. While we provide detailed assembly instructions and support to ensure a smooth construction process, you are free to work with a builder of your choice. Additionally, our team can collaborate with your builder to maintain the high standards and sustainability principles of Evolution House. If needed, we can also recommend trusted professionals experienced with our modular system.

It depends on the model and, above all, on the finish. The best method is always to define a budget with the client from the outset. Our technicians will use this as the basis for the final project, adapting the materials to your budget. There are small models basic KITS costing from 40 thousand euros... to hundreds of thousands of euros for luxuary models. One thing is certain: no model is less energy efficient, regardless of its price. The difference lies in the finish and size, never in the quality of the structural or insulation materials, which are always the same regardless of the model.

Using an Evolution House KIT can lead to significant cost savings compared to traditional construction methods. Here are the key ways you save: 1. Reduced Labor Costs The modular design and simplified assembly mean the house can be built by fewer people (often just two), reducing the need for large construction crews. Faster assembly time translates to fewer labor hours and lower overall labor expenses. 2. Faster Construction Time Prefabricated components cut down construction time by up to 50% compared to traditional builds. Less time on-site means fewer costs related to equipment rental, on-site facilities, and project management. 3. Lower Material Waste Precision manufacturing ensures that materials are pre-cut and optimized, significantly reducing waste. This efficiency lowers the costs associated with excess material and waste disposal. 4. Fewer On-Site Errors Factory-controlled production reduces mistakes and rework, saving money on corrections and delays often seen in traditional construction. 5. Simplified Logistics All components are delivered as a complete package, reducing multiple deliveries and associated transportation costs. 6. Flexibility for Self-Build Homeowners who opt for self-building can save on professional fees by assembling the KIT themselves with provided instructions. 7. Energy Efficiency Savings The use of sustainable insulation materials like cork and hemp ensures high energy efficiency, reducing long-term heating and cooling costs

We offer both options, depending on your needs. Supply Only: We can provide the design, materials, and detailed instructions (Green Heritage KITS) for you or your chosen builder to assemble the house. Full Service: Alternatively, we can handle the entire construction process, (with our partners on your region) from design and material supply to assembly and finishing, ensuring a seamless experience. Our flexible approach allows you to choose the solution that works best for your project

Our houses are inspired by the famous colombage, and the formula we use is even more protective, since we completely cover the houses with black cork agglomerate, an extraordinarily durable and rot-proof material. As we all know, the biggest problems responsible for damage to houses are their structure and deterioration due to humidity. Therefore, the combination of anti-seismic wooden structures and cork coverings provides exceptional protection. We won't be around to see it, but we hope that our houses will last at least as long as their colombage brothers. In other words, several centuries!

Of course! All the normal licensing procedures are followed. We prepare all the necessary projects and our technicians will provide you with full support during the licensing process with your local council.
