This vacation home sits at the edge of an open landscape, slightly elevated on a forested limestone plateau with pine trees. It faces wide fields and meadows with grazing sheep to the south.
The site is part of a former military area where two bunkers are hidden below ground, only revealed by steel doors integrated in the slope at the level of the fields. These existing rooms are converted into atelier and workshop spaces for the clients, who are professional designers themselves.
The new house is laid out as three separate room units covered by a thirty-eight meter long pitched roof that cantilevers far beyond the building facades to provide generous outdoor spaces sheltered from rain and sun, as well as a protected exterior passage between the different room functions.
The entire structure is constructed with solid clt timber and the roof is finished with a sawn wooden panel. Each room has large glass sliding doors with exterior wooden shutters so that the house can be left completely closed and weather protected during the winter season.
