This energy-efficient residence was built alongside four holiday flats between the forest, meadows and vineyards. The larch wood used in the construction and shell as well as on the balconies of the upper floors, comes from stocks owned by the construction manager. The balconies are equipped with mobile sunshades, thus giving a unified, yet changing exterior appearance. The basement is partially built into the slope behind, in the style of massive construction. The front of the top floor is made entirely of glass panels in order to make the most of the splendid view. The conventional shape of the house, which blends well into the landscape, is an unusually elegant building with a lightweight feel to it, well thought out details and tasteful furnishings.
The architect achieved the Gold category of ClimateHouse certification through the use of a ground heat exchanger, solar power, comfort ventilation system, highly insulating windows, wood-fiber insulation, sun protection elements and rainwater collection systems.
