Natural materials and renovation

What impact does building with natural materials have on our health? Why is Somnisamida a leading builder in natural materials and renovating buildings?

The first layer that protects our body is the epidermis, the second is the coat that gives us warmth, and the third is the home that gives us shelter. This simile enables us to understand the importance of the materials that we live with every day and the ability of spaces to interact with our body both physically and emotionally. Building materials have a direct impact on the quality of the air we breathe inside our homes, and natural materials have numerous beneficial properties for our health: they can regulate humidity, absorb CO 2 , and discharge static energy.

Commitment to the environment and our clients

Somnisamida has studied traditional architecture in depth in order to carry out respectful actions with natural materials: limestone, earth, wood, ceramics, and stone. And the team’s participation in transforming existing buildings has brought them awareness of recycling, reusing, and large-scale recovery. In this sense, they work on large openings in stone walls, bracing, Catalan vaults, arched stairways, pendant vaults to gain height in new passageways, reed ceilings, and complex demolitions when necessary. It is precisely through renovation, taking advantage of existing structures and using recycled materials and environmental labels, that the construction sector, responsible for 38% of global CO 2 emissions , can contribute to reducing them by more than 50%.

The Somnisamida team receives ongoing training to enhance its expertise and motivation. This is the best combination to make projects on paper become easy to execute, higher quality, and offer guarantees with no setbacks. The team’s daily cost controls also have a single objective: the only surprise that clients get is a tailor-made and fully completed dream project. //
