Description
Built in 2008 by architects Fabienne Couvert and Guillaume Terver, this house is a fine example of contemporary bioclimatic design. It illustrates the renaissance of wood in home architecture, a material used for its constructive, environmental and aesthetic qualities.
In the heart of nature, surrounded by a 2725 m² garden, this 122 m² single-storey house comprises a large living room extending onto a sheltered terrace, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a shower room and a utility room.
With direct access to the terrace and garden, the living room and bedrooms feature large picture windows that let in plenty of light and allow you to enjoy the landscape.
The house is located in a small village in Haute-Normandie near Yvetot.
A building that combines aesthetics and environmental concerns
This carefully designed bioclimatic house features a timber frame and facades in Macassar-coloured laminated panels, healthy insulation materials, geothermal heating and a rainwater recovery system.
This house is part of the revival of wooden architecture. This light, environmentally-friendly material, which allows the house to blend in better with its natural surroundings, has been the subject of renewed interest from many architects in recent years.
Bioclimatic architecture reduces energy requirements, maintains pleasant temperatures, controls humidity and encourages natural lighting. In this bioclimatic house, particular attention has been paid to orientation, insulation and geothermal heating, which provides gentle, constant and evenly distributed heat.
