About this project
Located in Romania, this 68 m² single-story residence demonstrates the efficiency and adaptability of TheoSteel's light gauge steel (LGS) framing systems for compact home designs. Custom-engineered through digital 3D modeling, the structure features a optimized roof truss system and precision-formed galvanized steel profiles that ensure high thermal performance and robust seismic durability against Eastern European climate conditions.
By completing all cold-formed steel profile fabrication off-site, on-site assembly was achieved rapidly with zero material waste. The lightweight frame minimizes foundation loads while enabling an open, flexible interior plan, delivering an energy-efficient, long-lasting residential solution in record time.
