Text description provided by the architects. Sous Les Ailes is a bioclimatic house that is embedded on the edge of the Fontainebleau forest in the Malerdorf Barbizon, just an hour from Paris. A stone building is located in the northeastern corner of this almost 2000 m² plot of land, while two concrete extensions are currently adjacent to the building. In the south, the characteristic rocks of the Fontainebleau forest develop in the shade of the high oak trees.
The owners dream of spacious glazed rooms, in harmony with the surroundings and open up to the surrounding nature. They want rooms that are bathed in light as they remain discreet and seamlessly insert into the quiet and preserved surroundings around them. Your vision goes beyond the aesthetics: You want an environmentally friendly house that is self -sufficient in terms of energy and water to create a sustainable living space in perfect symbiosis with its environment.
The two extensions are demolished, which reveals and improved the stone of the original building. The height of the gutter of the original building determines the height limit for the new constructions. A first volume, which was built with a mixed structure of wood and hemp lime blocks, houses the living areas. It extends parallel to the northern border of the property. The entrance that runs next to the stone of the existing house opens directly into the garden, while the structure remains discreet thanks to its transparency. This spacious volume is divided into three sections by functional blocks that separate the entrance, the living room and the kitchen/dining area.
On the south side, the facade is largely glazed and protected by a fresh roof that is supposed to restrict the summer sun light. On the north side, small openings create a feeling of cross views. The volume dedicated to the sleeping areas is designed with essential simplicity. It was built exclusively from hemp limit and mixes discreetly into the “wings” of the main volume and extends to the rocks where it is protected. The intimate and calming main bedroom is embedded in the undergrowth and offers a true oasis of peace in harmony with the surrounding nature.
In the north there are the garage and the workshop, away from the heart of the house, but perfectly integrated into the landscape and form a harmonious addition. In the existing house, fully isolated with biological materials such as sprayed hemply aboundors for the walls and wood wool for the roof, there is a bathroom, a laundry room and a guest room. Two rainwater harvesting tissues and a treatment system ensure the self -sufficiency of water. The solar heating system, combined with a backup wood oven with a kettle, offers gentle thermal comfort in winter. The Canadian fountain and the decentralized double jet ventilation ensure natural ventilation.
