At a historical moment in which the prices of traditional houses continue to rise dramatically, making access to ownership increasingly difficult for many Italian families, the prefabricated housing market offers increasingly surprising solutions.
The latest example comes from Pineca, a company specializing in modular wooden constructions, which offers a model capable of challenging all logic of the conventional real estate market: 132 square meters on two floors, four bedrooms and a terrace, all for less than 36,000 euros.
An offer that few would have imagined possible until a few years ago, but concrete, available and already in stock. In a country where the average cost per square meter in the big cities is well over 3,000 euros, talking about a similar amount for an entire house sounds almost revolutionary.
A project designed for families: generous spaces at an unbeatable price
The model in question is called VERA S and it is a two-story wooden house that redefines the concept of economical living without sacrificing the quality of the spaces. On the main floor, the heart of the house is a spacious living room with direct access to the outside, surrounded by large windows that bring natural light to every corner, creating an airy and welcoming atmosphere.
The kitchen is designed to integrate harmoniously with the common areas, encouraging domestic sociability that reflects the habits of modern families. The 13.5 square meter covered terrace represents a much-appreciated bonus space, ideal for outdoor living in the milder seasons, breakfast in the morning or turning it into a private relaxation area.
The upper floor can be configured with a variable number of bedrooms, from two to four, making it suitable for large families, couples with children or those in need of an office or guest house.
Wood, efficiency and flexibility: the advantages of modern prefabrication
The structure of VERA S is made of 66 mm solid wood, a material that offers excellent natural insulating properties, resistance to time and a warm and genuine aesthetic that is difficult to duplicate with other materials.
Wood, the protagonist of Northern European construction for centuries, is experiencing a new era of appreciation in Italy, not only for economic reasons but also for environmental reasons: it is a renewable material, with a low carbon footprint and able to contribute to the well-being of life thanks to its ability to naturally regulate indoor humidity.
Those who wish can opt for the version with additional insulation, which further improves the home’s thermal performance by reducing energy consumption in the long term, an aspect that is far from secondary at a time when bills are increasingly burdening the family budget. Thanks to its versatility, this model lends itself to use both as a first home and as a secondary home, holiday home or retreat surrounded by nature.
