Why build collective housing in Ytong cellular concrete?

A project of 24 collective and social housing units, 1.426 m² on 4 levels, orchestrated by Alpes Isère Habitat and Mur Murs - Béranger & Gerbier Architectes. The building was entirely designed in cellular concrete blocks 42 cm thick.

Thus, no additional insulation from the inside or from the outside was useful. On their own, the one-piece walls will provide real thermal comfort to future occupants. Their airtightness, their thermal bridge breaker and their high insulating power guarantee freshness in summer and insulation in winter, without excessive air conditioning or heating consumption. Enough to respond to future climate change, variations in the cost of energy and the environmental regulations in force.

In addition, Ytong cellular concrete gives the structure sturdiness and durability, ideal for collective housing. This Xella construction system thus offers the guarantee of the best performance while achieving considerable savings, both in terms of logistics and construction.

Ytong cellular concrete is made in Isère, near the Saint-Marcellin site. It makes it part of a short circuit logic and participates in the decarbonization of the construction sector.
