THE PROTOTYPE
Our next step was to test our idea on a 1 to 1 scale, thereby building a complete element. The first step was the refinishing of the pallet, giving it a better look. For the gaps between the wooden boards, we used wooden slats of the same size, which after sanding gave the pallet a smooth and homogeneous structure.
After a varnish finish, we managed to add the texture and contrast we were looking for to our design. Since the pallets stand out and mark its presence in the aesthetics of the building, we were able to give them visibility and protagonism.

For the insulation we used seagrass, which in addition to being biodegradable can be easily used to uniformly fill the volume of the pallet. Finally, we closed the structure with an OSB board, which after screwed serves as a base for the fitting of our elements in the underconstruction of the walls.
