Un brin de paille

For the design of this house, the goal is to develop, like the straw, a dwelling technically simple, healthy and alive through materials and techniques used.
As an architect, the project owner is convinced that man needs to be able to warm by the fire. This elementary reflection leads to question the standard building “Liabilities” which, by definition, has an inertia heat such as a heating system is not necessary.
The project owner then follows other paths leading comfort, energy independence and a “carbon zero” building. The intention is to show that it is possible to achieve a need Global primary energy very low, while addressing the project in terms of technology and simplicity constructive and felt comfortable.
Finally, the terrain, with many walls against land and a well-facing slope, allows
to design a bioclimatic house said. The house is not passive but goals end are identical, ie minimize consumption of primary energy and aim the autono-Energy crumb.
