The project proposes a semi-underground construction on the slope. It features a solid, underground level to house a two-car garage. On top of this is a wooden structure that echoes the aesthetic codes of the main house in the background, ensuring architectural consistency. It has the same ridge orientation, the same façade with larch cladding, and, above all, the same construction logic specific to its environment. It has eaves that protect the wooden façade and shade the openings and terraces. The interior consists of a living room/bedroom and a bathroom. The living room opens onto the panorama of the valley to the northwest through two large windows and benefits from a balcony and a terrace serving as an entrance hall. The east facade features small openings that provide filtered light to the kitchen and bathroom. The construction will be carried out with respect for the environment, with limited use of concrete as needed, a wooden slab, a prefabricated straw structure, exterior cladding, and interior earthen walls.
