Project built in France. The first Portuguese photos will replace this one.
Light trusses designed for long spans, up to more than 20 m, assembled in the workshop and erected in one to three days. Pitched or flat roofs. Rare in Portugal, common in France. How it works ↓
Trusses, purlins and rafters in solid timber, joined as the craft requires.
Load-bearing timber floors, stiff and vibration-free.
The structure as an architectural element, designed to be seen.
Understand
Principle illustration, not a completed project. Dimensions are indicative.
A light timber triangle, engineered and assembled in the workshop. It spans 8 m from wall to wall in this example, and more than 20 m if needed, with no intermediate support: no load-bearing wall or post in the middle of the house.
Seven timber members, 36 or 45 mm thick: the bottom chord, two sloping rafters and four web members. Toothed metal connector plates hold them together.
The trusses arrive assembled and are set on the walls one by one, every 60 cm (up to 90 cm). Cross members and bracing diagonals tie them together.
The battens and tiles sit directly on the trusses. From outside, it is a Portuguese house like any other. The difference is underneath.
