Cross Section

This morphology coupled with materials usually related to barns, can integrate the house into the surrounding rural landscape. In south facade, a wooden deck sheltered by a roof overhang, extended the rooms on the outside. Widely glazed, this facade promotes solar gain in winter. The East front is blind, only the wood cladding is open to hide the heat pump. In West front, a fixed window part of the landscape and the village center.

Built in wood frame, a particular attention was paid to the insulation:

- 160mm wood fiber insulation between wood framing members + 60mm inner side of the house
- 300mm wood fiber insulation under the steel roof
The choice of insulation fell on the wood fiber because it provides a source of comfort, especially in summer. The exterior siding is in gross larch mounted vertically, it is intended to skate and turn to a grey tint,contributing to fits the house into the landscape and standardize the exterior skin : roof and wood siding
