From the architect. The idea is simple, build a big house with a standard home budget. A bioclimatic envelope (polycarbonate wood framing ) of 156 m2 floor hosts a 148m2 wooden construction on two levels.

The volumes between the two constructions are intended: garage, terrace high and low … The rooms are heated by a wood stove (pellets).

The purpose of surfaces and atmospheres vary different at times according to the seasons. The relationship to the garden is worked with wide opening and sliding walls . Canvas shading and ventilation windows ensure summer comfort .
Some of the interiors are self-made. The iconic volume plays with scale, the interstitial voids and the concept of inside-out .
