The intelligent architecture of the Swiss hut: a response to the challenges of Gilan climate

1. A-Frame pitched roof: the first and most important line of defense

• Immediate drainage of water: The steep slope of the roof does not allow rainwater to collect on it even for a moment. Water is quickly directed downwards and away from the structure. This feature minimizes the risk of water infiltration, roof rot and damage to the main structure. In an area like Gilan, where sudden and heavy rains are a common occurrence, this feature is vital.
• Reduced load on the structure: Unlike flat roofs that retain water, the Swiss Hut roof does not bear any additional weight from rainwater, which contributes to the long-term health of the structure's skeleton.
• Wall protection: The roof extends up to The bottom acts as a large umbrella for the side walls, protecting them from direct rain. This helps to increase the lifespan of the wooden facade and reduce the need for maintenance.

2. Use of wood: natural insulation against moisture and temperature

• Natural breathing: Wood is a material that "breathes". This means that it can absorb excess moisture in the indoor environment and release it when the air is dry. This feature helps to naturally adjust the humidity inside the Swiss cottage and prevents the creation of a stuffy atmosphere prone to mold growth.
• Extraordinary thermal insulation: Wood has very low thermal conductivity. A well-made Swiss Hut stays cool in the hot and humid summers of Gilan and retains heat well in the cold winters. This means a significant reduction in cooling and heating costs and an increase in the comfort of residents.

3. Engineered foundation: fighting moisture from the ground up

• Distance from the ground: In Sazeh Lotfi Gilan, we implement all huts on a concrete foundation or foundations that place the floor of the structure at a suitable distance from the ground.
• Air flow: This distance creates a constant air flow under the Swiss hut and prevents the accumulation of moisture, rotting of the floor, and the penetration of insects and vermin. does This is a simple but vital principle to ensure the durability of the structure in the humid climate of Gilan.

Selection and processing of wood: the secret of the durability of our Swiss chalet

We never use raw and untreated wood. Our process for wood preparation is a scientific and precise process:

1. Choosing the best species: We mainly use pine, which is an ideal choice for structures and facades due to its structure and natural resistance.
2. Industrial dryer (Kiln Dry): All the wood we use is dried in industrial kilns to reach the standard humidity (below 15%). This prevents warping, cracking and deformation of the wood after execution.
3. Saturation with protective materials: After drying, the wood is impregnated by immersion or under pressure with European standard materials. These materials protect the wood from fungi, molds, termites and other wood-eating pests that are active in the humid climate of Gilan.
4. Final protective coating: Finally, outdoor paints and coatings are used that have hydrophobic properties and resistance to UV rays from the sun.

This meticulous process ensures that your Swiss Chalet built by Gilaan Seze Lotfi will maintain its beauty and strength for decades.

Precise execution details: the difference in build quality

A great structure is known in its details. Our executive team pays attention to the finer points of Swiss chalet construction:

• Flashing: All the connection points of the roof to the wall, around windows and chimneys are carefully covered with flashing sheets so that there is no way for water to penetrate.
• Proper ventilation system: By creating a ventilation system in the lower part of the roof and other strategic points, we ensure constant air circulation and the exit of moist air.
• Usage From stainless fittings: All the screws, nails and fittings used are galvanized or stainless steel so that they do not rust and corrode against moisture.
