For the construction different materials were used, among which: the walls are stucco on ceramic blocks, the floor made of stone and exteriors are made of local limestone and ceramic. The interior layout and furniture were also designed by architects. The large and high porch of the house extends the living-dining areas. The bedrooms, toilet, patio, outdoor shower are located in the low long part of the building. Rainwater on the flat roofs is collected and stored in a centralized tank for reuse.

The best decision for a big family by h20 Architectes: ‘furniture-wall’

Once upon a time residents of one small apartment located in the building complex in Menuires (France) have decided to renovate their living space. The designers’ task was almost impossible: they had to maximize the space without modifying the supporting framework of the structure, to make two bathrooms instead of existing one and to place eight beds within the apartments 55m2 giving opportunity of separate access for each. It was a corner apartment with views in three cardinal directions therefore another task was to retain the possibility to enjoy the panoramas. The architects (h20 Architectes) have made the best decision: to make the wooden ‘furniture-wall’ inside the apartment. It solves the main problem – a lack of space, and serves an additional function of opening up the panoramic views in all directions. This furniture-wall provides access to all items of the construction. There are beds, storage, reading corner attached to a window, kitchen and bathroom. Sleeping nooks are divided with curtains and supplied with reading lamps. The whole furniture-wall is made of different types of high quality woods.
