A house open to the outside
Hidden from the outside world by its vegetation, the house reveals itself once you step inside. Its solid wood architecture in grey and the anthracite aluminium joinery contrast with its bright interior filled with natural light creating a warm atmosphere.
Spread over 2 floors, each level has a living space of approx. 90 sqm with high-quality materials ranging from porcelain stoneware tiles to solid oak parquet flooring.
The ground floor is organized around a large living room bordered by large bay windows opening onto the adjoining terrace. The kitchen, in natural colors, is discreet, sober and functional. This latter has plenty of storage space and a large storeroom at the back. A bedroom with en-suite shower room and access to the garden offers a separate space to welcome family and friends or to create an office.
The sleeping area is located on the first floor. There are 3 bedrooms, including a master bedroom with comfortable volumes, a spacious dressing room with numerous custom-made storage spaces and glass doors leading to the balcony.
An eco-home
The architect has designed a home with a particularly low environmental impact.
Wood, a renewable natural resource, is the main material used in the house, for its structure as well as for its interior and exterior fittings.
Particular care was taken to ensure a high quality of insulation made from bio-based materials such as high-density wood fibers for the external insulation and recycled organic cotton fibers for the internal lining.
The building was designed according to the rules of bioclimatic architecture. Utility spaces (bathroom, laundry room and garage) are located on the north side of the house. On the south side, the living rooms have large bay windows enjoying a maximum of natural light and warmth.
Underfloor heating with water circulation, complemented by a wood pellet stove ensures optimum comfort and the double-flow ventilation system limits heat loss.
Modern and aesthetically pleasing, the external rolling venetian blind filter the light and heat, particularly during the warm summer.
All of these elements allow the current owners to have low energy bills.
