Marina and Michel use EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam blocks as permanent formwork for the grade beams of their new studio and tiny house construction project.4:06 By replacing traditional wooden formwork with custom-cut EPS canaletas, they reduce material costs by half and eliminate the labor-intensive process of building and dismantling wooden boxes.4:36 The EPS blocks serve a dual purpose: they act as a mold for the concrete and remain in place as a permanent moisture barrier to prevent rising damp in the foundation.5:16 The team completes 170 square meters of grade beam foundation in two and a half days, noting that the EPS system functions like a modular building set.9:37 Following the foundation work, they transition to structural masonry using 39x19x14 cm blocks, which require a specific layout of compensator and channel blocks.11:39 The project serves as a testing ground for sustainable building techniques intended for their future electric aluminum catamaran.0:48
