Le Hibou

The main intention was to create a shelter offering  peace and privacy, designed as a hidden fortress in the pine forest protecting against prevailing winds.

To bring this “armor” concept to life while maintaining the best possible view of the valley, Alumilex solutions made it possible to respect the passive design principles. These structures offer:

• A custom design that combines sustainable materials and technical ingenuity, creating a seamless transition between private spaces and the open space of the large living room.

   

• Uncompromising thermal performance, essential for a passive home, allows the winter sun to reach deep into the residence, capturing and maximizing the enduring warmth of solar gains

   

• Perfect watertightness and greater resistance to weather conditions.

   

• Artisanal craftsmanship in the precision of joints, ensuring that openings are not simple details, but the heart of the contemplative experience of the home.

   

• Rigorous minimalism where glass walls dissolve into the landscape beneath a cantilevered roof, shielding the interior from the midday sun while preserving the integrity of the panoramic view.
