Used Materials and Techniques Hebel (autoclaved aerated concrete), local woods, Venetian stucco and wastewater treatment plant.

This house with the shape of a monoblock arch is based on a strong architectural concept: a single material to create walls and roof.

Cellular concrete allows this technical originality, it is structural, insulating and waterproof. The desire to have a single Venetian stucco finish with a marbled effect for the exterior walls, interior walls and floors brings visual and sensory comfort to the atmosphere of the house. The large glass facades are like a breakthrough on the perspective of the mountains in the distance. The framing of the view is so grandiose that the surrounding vegetation intrudes into the architecture. Inside this envelope, only the bathroom block is an enclosed room. Placed in the middle of the space, it separates the different spaces and creates a fluid circulation around it.
