HD House / AL PEPE architects

The archetypal form of the double pitch roof, imposed by the building code requirements, is augmented by a peripheral terrace, alternately covered by wood (shelter) or painted steel grating (sunbreak). The scenographic composition of the overhang apparent wood structure forms a strong internal/external continuity and gives an exotic and warm side to this « alsatian pagoda ». The construction is embedded in the relatively steep slope (9%) to limit its impact on the large landscape, on the neighborhood, and on the relatively small plot (400sqm). The basement opens at grass height with large glass wooden frames making this floor completely habitable.
