Eliminating thermal bridges for energy efficiency
DeFaveri's thermal insulating monoblocks eliminate thermal bridges in the window hole, improve acoustic insulation and protect against air infiltration and humidity.
Realized by the pioneer of self-construction Joël Unal according to the project of Claude Häusermann-Costy in 1972, the maison-bulle is on sale for €2,500,000. In the heart of the Ardèche, in the south-east of France, the house deeps in the wild landscape and despite its whiteness blends perfectly into it, looking towards the profiles of Mount Lozère and Mont Blanc.
With an area of 156 square meters, the villa consists of a kitchen, lounge, library, laboratory, and three bedrooms. Each space is connected to the others through two emblematic circulation tunnels. For obvious reasons, it is furnished with custom-made handmade furniture and is also enriched with mosaics and colorful sculptures. All windows are round. Outside it houses a terrace almost as large as the house and a swimming pool.
The details of minimalist architecture
The new Schüco LivIng Free Light system is a PVC window frame that minimises the exposed section of the window frame, enlarges the glazed area and creates an elevation with an essential character.
