Piolet cottage by Chevallier Architectes
Piolet cottage is a project designed by Chevallier Architectes in 2012, covers an area of 169 m2 and is located in Les Praz de Chamonix.
The building was originally an old wooden shed in very poor condition ? a strong candidate for demolition.
The challenge was to find ways to develop and optimize the spaces within a volume that could not be modified due to planning by-laws.
Features
The project is an architect?s house, for an architect.
Not only did the building need to be inhabitable, it also had to set an example for building of its style and reflect the architect?s vision for the future of construction in mountainous areas (boldness, contemporary lines, high-quality materials, and environment-friendly solutions).
The cottage is equipped with a heat pump. It is insulated by 35 cm of rock wool in the walls and 30 cm of rock wool in the roof, making the finished building a model of energy efficiency. Style
The openwork siding creates an ?indoor-outdoor? effect, particularly through the creation of vestibules in the clerestory-type openings.
Rusted façade elements strengthen the graphical and aesthetic impact.
With its openness to the outside, the house reflects the architect?s philosophy of life: every human being is an actor on the stage of everyday life.
The roof is made of the same material as the siding, laid directly on the waterproofing to produce a snow-guard effect.
Overall, the building is grounded in angularity and symmetry....
