Description
This house stands in a flag-shaped site and includes an architectural studio. In order to separate the house and the atelier, the architects created a composition with one basement floor and 3 upper floors in the maximum volume allowed by local building regulations. For the large interior space, they proposed a well water radiant cooling and heating system. The water is pumped up to the roof and streams down the surface of the insulated external wall.
