The budget warranted rethinking the residence as a succession of spaces that harness passive strategies to bring consumption of energy down to a minimum.

The architects chose to structure the renovation of this house around three ideas: organize it in terms of thermal gradients, use low-carbon materials, and reduce built area by half, freeing up the rest of the site for an interior terrace where the actual occupants were the determining factor.

With no air conditioning, the open kitchen space encourages equitable use of it, in consonacen with the material character of the living and dining room pace, and the “communal room” uses the climatic advantages of sleeping together while reinforcing emotional ties.
