摘要 •帮你速读文章内容 GENERATED BY AI, PLEASE IDENTIFY THE AUTHENTICITY BY YOURSELF The main volume faces due south and has large openings on both levels to take in views of the forest and Mont Bromont in the distance. The roof extends to the west to cover an outdoor terrace. On the east side, the weathering steel volume contains a roof terrace that can be accessed from a secondary room. The varying widths of the white cedar cladding blend, even hide, the house in the forest, while the oxidized effect of the weathering steel volume absorbs the iron rock of this part of the mountain. The gray steel roof wraps around the entire north facade, protecting the form of the house from the road above. The house also serves as a studio for ceramicist Sophie Manessiez, who lives here with her partner Damien and their children. It is a meeting point between family, work and creative spaces. The house is also a place to gather and welcome family and friends. The openings in these spaces allow the house to establish a unique relationship with the surrounding landscape and nature. These openings are sometimes generous, sometimes more intimate, but all of them provide specific views and adaptive sunlight, allowing the workspaces to open up to different panoramas than those provided to the family areas. The sunlight, like nature, penetrates the spaces from all sides, making the inhabitants the center of the encounter between architecture and nature. The terrace on the ground floor extends the main spaces to the outdoors. From the initial meeting, it was very important to the clients to have a home with a humanistic touch and a reasonable ecological footprint. Therefore, we [architects] paid special attention to the orientation of the house, integrating some elements of passive solar design by taking advantage of the thermal mass of the slab and the openings to the south, while also using different methods to create sunshades on the south façade to avoid overheating in the summer. The windows and doors also allow for cross ventilation. The thermal insulation of the walls has been improved with materials having a thermal insulation value of up to R46 and the roof R62, minimising the running costs of the house.
