Touristic residentials, bungalows. Cayo Largo, Cuba.

Architectonic Concrete S.L, supplied engineering assistance for three years to the cuban corp. Caribbean Sodeal,S.A, on complete precast solutions.

Sometimes these solutions involved difficult logistics, as in this case: a final erection of the precast pieces in the Cayo Largo del Sur Island, including foundation elements, by ship from the main island.

This image shows the structural pannels system.

Teracotta-like and wooden color comes from different dosages of yellow, red and black pigments, grey cement based mix.

The texture for the exposed surface of the pannels is that of wooden tabs with natural grain patterns. That texturing was achieved by moulds with flexible framed skins.

The dimmensions of precast beams and pannels reached full heights and lengths between storeys and columns that, together with the logistics and handling constrains, made a maximum around 2 ton. weight for the elements.

The key issue for the quality achieved in this industriallized construction project was the previous many hours commited in the technical office task: on the most practical conception, then calculus, full projected details for every element and union, well in advance of the manufacturing phase.

Thus, such a meticulous project made posible the buildings erection with strict dimmensional tolerances, in the range of milimeters.

The whole compound erected for this touristic resort was of 24 "bungalows" like this, together with much bigger common service buildings, on record time and great quality, to all extends, as it was evidenced by the pass of a hurricane, cat. 3, right through the site, few after these pics were taken, registering not relevant dammage on the works.

Architectonic Concrete S.L. provided his knowledge for this project to the technical office task, moulds, fixings, and colors and textures execution.
