BlockHouses
CarmoForm has developed BlockHouses, wooden houses that combine contemporary design with sophisticated finishes. Manufactured with sustainable and high-quality materials, BlockHouses are pre-assembled, which means they are easily produced, transported, and installed. Following Nordic inspiration, they are made of high-quality wood and respect the environment where they are installed.
Using the revolutionary CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber), BlockHouses combine strength and structural flexibility. This “turnkey” approach ensures that you can enjoy your new home in a short period of time, without sacrificing quality and comfort. Each unit is manufactured in about a month, with a maximum delivery time of two months. In addition, excellent thermal insulation ensures comfort in all seasons, making them ideal for housing, rural tourism projects, and spaces that seek harmony with nature.
If you are looking for a housing that combines sustainability, contemporary design, and superior quality, BlockHouses are the right choice.
- Several typologies available
- Lighter raw material (CLT)
- Sustainable materials, which allow reducing the ecological footprint
- Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation
- Modern design with optional equipment
- Greater ease of licensing

Myths of Wood Construction
There are several myths surrounding wood construction. However, this is a solid choice for construction projects, thanks to its strength, durability, and safety. Discover the answer to each of the most common myths.
-
Contrary to this idea, good quality wood, especially when treated, has a very high durability. With proper treatments and regular maintenance, wooden structures can last for decades or even centuries.
-
In reality, wood is very resistant and can withstand significant loads. For example, wood has a mechanical efficiency 6.4 times higher than that of steel, relative to its density.
Treated and high-quality wood is used in durable structures worldwide, demonstrating its resistance capacity. -
Structural wood is actually a material naturally resistant to fire. When exposed to high temperatures, the surface of the wood carbonizes and forms a protective layer that delays the spread of flames.
Modern engineered woods are often treated to meet strict fire safety standards.
In addition, wood burns predictably, facilitating evacuation in case of fire, unlike other materials that can collapse suddenly.
The characteristics of wood make it a raw material with enormous potential for construction. These are some of its main advantages.
-
Building with wood allows for the house to be finished in less time than with other materials
-
The manufacturing process is entirely carried out in the factory, in a controlled and quality environment.
-
This constructive method allows for a fixed budget from the beginning, without any deviations.
-
Modular construction allows for easy addition of new divisions to an already built house.
-
This natural raw material has thermal and acoustic qualities that make it more efficient.
