The Aedas Home real estate project in Maspalomas, in the south of Gran Canaria, is moving forward with the construction of 96 villas using XLAM panels, a cross-laminated timber technology that combines high efficiency, durability, and sustainability. According to Aedas Home's project analysis, this prefabricated system speeds up construction times and reduces on-site handling, as the panels arrive with the wood fiber layer already incorporated. The Gutex staples and insulation certify their European origin, primarily from Austria and Slovenia, ensuring quality and durability in the construction.
One of the project's most notable decisions is the placement of the walls on a reinforced concrete curb, a measure that, despite the low local rainfall (approximately ten rains per year), reinforces structural stability and protects the panels from rising damp. According to Nicola Pavan, an architect specializing in structural engineering, it would be interesting to evaluate the implementation of a Glaser test or phase change analysis (PCM), given that Maspalomas' sunny climate could cause the panels to overheat. He also suggests analyzing passive ventilation and shading strategies to ensure interior comfort and optimize the villas' energy efficiency, complementing active air conditioning systems and ensuring that sustainability is not just nominal but effective.
The homes, which include a garage and storage room, are now available for purchase. The two-bedroom semi-detached villas start at €2, with a higher option reaching €624.000. For those seeking more space, the three-bedroom villas are available from €808.000, with larger models priced at €3 and €853.000. Located in the elegant Meloneras area, OASE offers a unique opportunity to live just steps from the boulevard and enjoy unforgettable sunsets on the shores of the Atlantic, in a true paradise of luxury.
With this development, Maspalomas is positioning itself as a benchmark in high-efficiency residential architecture, combining technological innovation, structural preventive measures, and a focus on sustainable thermal comfort, which could serve as a model for future projects in the Canary Islands.
