The Wet Core Pod is a composite housing module that, through industrialization, facilitates the most complex, expensive and time-consuming stage of a construction project.

​

The Wet Core Pod is a module integrating a bathroom, a kitchen and a laundry, developed with the aim of accelerating installation time and simplifying the construction of social housing.

The system is manufactured with a basic design that connects the three sanitary facilities, but it can have variations according to the project and adapt to all types of terminations for single-family homes in general. The module was developed for industrial production using composite materials. These materials were selected for their low weight, durability, and their low maintenance and high performance. Composite materials offer improved thermal and acoustic comfort with low energy consumption, combined with ease of cleaning and sanitizing. The module was designed using four production processes: integrated RTM, continuous rolling, pultrusion and PIR injection.
