The concept starts from the union between the industrialization ideas, sustainability, ecology and lightening, the architecture studios Mangado&As and oiza.a develop Mohma, a series of energy-efficient prefabricated accommodation units with light technology based on wood and workshop production.

The project is unique due to its curved geometry and chameleon-like envelope, qualities that give the units a high degree of integration in the natural environment in which it is implemented, resulting in a proposal to enjoy everyday life from a space where you can recognize yourself, oneself and with nature.
The project developed by the studios Mangado&As and oiza.a is proposed as a base volume whose central module contains everything that allows the unit it constitutes to be enjoyed with comfort and to which one or two complementary wings are added that configure the space in Its other versions: small, medium or large, and which offer spaces aimed at providing a comfortable life that adapts to the user.

Materialized through a single product, a composite panel formed with structural wooden boards and an interposed insulating core, the project becomes a highly versatile and multipurpose element that combines the functions of structure and enclosure and whose qualities of efficiency and a cost of very reduced operation is evidenced by its A Energy Rating.

Project description by Mangado&As and oiza.a

Woodville designs, develops for workshop production, coordinates and assembles energy efficient accommodation units with dry and light construction technology, based on the use of wood and its derivatives.

From the conjunction of industrialization, lightening, sustainability, ecology and extraordinary advancement in joining means, engineered wood reemerges as a reinvented construction material. Woodville fully trusts in wood as a basic material for the materialization of its products; not only for its expressiveness, but especially for its functional possibilities. Without forgetting that wood, due to its almost ubiquitous condition on the planet, its regenerable quality - unique in construction materials - together with its ease of manufacturing with low energy consumption, make it the reference material in affordable low-cost construction systems. technology.

The project is materialized through a single construction product: a composite panel formed with two structural wooden boards and an interposed insulating core with load transmission capacity, which makes it a highly versatile element – ​​suitable for application both vertically and vertically. as horizontally - and multipurpose, since it combines the functions of structure and enclosure. They are characterized by the extraordinary efficiency resulting from their design, capable of extracting the maximum benefits from the materials that make up the sandwich.

The SIP panel is the basis of a self-developed construction concept specifically conceived for the industrialized production of the Woodville company's products under design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) criteria. The company operates through a delocalized network of approved suppliers that supply materials, components and equipment or services; an agile response system that allows elastic adaptation to changing demand conditions. The supplier network is fed by a component management system supported by a BOM (bill of materials) linked to the digital twin.

Woodville launches the mohma model on the market in four versions and three sizes. All of them share the central module that contains everything that allows the unit to be enjoyed comfortably, consequently it constitutes the minimum room cell. The central piece can be complemented with one or two attached wings to configure the two medium versions or the large one respectively. These have mezzanines that expand the useful surface, which provides a fluid spatial experience that is not devoid of a certain richness. Mohma offers simple, bright and orderly spaces, aimed at providing a comfortable life with a very low operating cost as proven by its A Energy Rating.

The unique curved volumetry, together with its highly chameleon-like envelope, gives the units a high degree of integration into the natural environment in which they are installed. That is why mohma is a product especially aligned with rural tourism initiatives, providing added value to resort-type businesses, glamping, digital nomads... distinguishing itself from the competition with a product with a strong, sustainable design, focused on the well-being of the user.

Francisco Mangado, (Navarra, 1957), is an architect from the School of Architecture of the University of Navarra, where he has been a professor since 1982. He has been a visiting professor at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, Eero Saarinen Visiting Professor at the Yale University, visiting professor at the EPF Polytechnic School of Lausanne, Baird and Gensler guest professor at Cornell University and visiting professor at the Polytechnic of Milan.

From his works they emphasize the Palace of Congresses and Auditorium of Pamplona "Baluarte" (2003), the Field of Soccer of Palencia (2006), the Municipal Center of Exhibitions and Congresses of Ávila (2009), the Museum of Archeology of Vitoria (2009 ), the Spanish Pavilion for the Zaragoza International Exhibition (2008), the BBAA Museum of Asturias in Oviedo (2015) and the recently inaugurated Palau de Congresos de Palma de Mallorca (2016) and the New Venue Building of Norvento Enerxia in Lugo (2017). Currently he develops his activity in several countries.

Thanks to this professional work he has received, among others, the Andrea Palladio Architecture Award, the Architecture FAD, the CEOE prize, the Construmat Architecture Award, the Fernando García Mercadal Architecture Prize, the Asturian Architecture Prize, the "Giancarlo Ius Gold Medal" awarded by the International Union of Architects, the Copper in Architecture Award, the RIBA EU Award, the Spanish Architecture Award 2009 and the RIBA for International Excellence, among others.

In 2011 he was named "International Fellow" of the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) and in 2013 honorary member of the AIA (American Institute of Architects). In November 2016, the Berlin Academy of Arts grants Francisco Mangado the Berlin Art Prize-Architecture Prize 2017 in recognition of his work.

In 2008 he founded the Architecture and Society Foundation, which works to favor the interaction of architecture with other disciplines of creation, thought and economy, which has received the CSCAE gold medal (Higher Council of Architects of Spain) 2015

In July 2015 he was appointed General Coordinator of Biennials and under his coordination was awarded to the Spanish Pavilion the Golden Lion of the Venice Biennial in May 2016.

Fernando Oíza is an architect from the University of Navarra and an expert in wood construction from the UPV. Since the completion of his studies, he has exercised independent professional work; either individually or integrated into multidisciplinary teams. With more than 25 years of professional practice, he combines the capacity for formal and constructive design, as supported by works and recognitions obtained throughout his career.

Particularly interested in technique, he has specialized in “dry” construction systems -characterized by the absence of water throughout the construction process- and light in a physical sense, but also conceptual in commitment to contemporaneity. The consequence is higher quality quotas in the execution, with a significant shortening of construction times. From the range of construction systems available to the designer, he opts for wood as it is considered the material of the present with the most future for environmental reasons. Wood is the only fully regenerable construction material, a quality to which others are added, such as being the one that requires less energy consumption in its handling, transformation and transport; be a carbon prison, or be reusable throughout its useful life until the end when it will be incorporated back into the biological cycle through humus. Naturally without forgetting that wood is the most versatile material in construction, which provides the warmth and comfort that many spaces require.

The building's energy balance through the envelope is another of its preferred research areas, in the search for bio-passive designs that optimize its energy demand by taking advantage of the surrounding conditions.

He maintains what has been the hallmark of his previous work: working on all possible scales of architecture, maintaining the principle of maximum dedication and commitment regardless of size; with the belief that the fundamental thing is not the size or the budget, but the intrinsic possibilities that the client-project tandem contains.
