With a 200 square meter flat roof, the architect translated his clients main wish to create space for as many solar modules as possible. Excess energy is stored in batteries, supplying not only the house with electricity, but also the electric cars. The heating system is based on geothermal heating.
The building is divided into two separate houses: a large 220 sqm house, where the entire living space is distributed on the upper floor and a smaller double-storey flat. The entrance to the house is through an open garage, separated from the wild garden by larch wood slats. The ground floor also hosts a laundry room, a wine cave, cheese cellar, a changing room and a toilet. A staircase leads to the upper floor with patio terrace, kitchen and living space with a large fireplace, a long concrete corridor with zenithal light leading to the different rooms.
