The Project

Two chalets, Zero carbon footprint


 

Le Balcon du Ciel consists of 2x self-contained ecological chalets. There is also the possibility to build your own autonomous chalet to meet all your ecological expectations.

 

The concept

More than a concept, a philosophy of life


 

One of the basic reflections was to say that each individual must be able to find a solution to meet their own energy needs and if possible solve mobility in their home.

The Objective

This chalet produces twice as much energy as it consumes!

The Technology

These chalets are built with a wood frame, placed on a mineral base which compliments the lie of the land and works in partnership with the innovative energy concept combining different simple technologies in order to reach the final objective.
The “Lucido ®” active facade is a combination of wood and glass. The principle is as follows: the glass captures the light rays and will turns them into heat. Subsequently, the grooved wood blades absorb this heat and in turn heat the insulation. Thus, we have a facade that requires no maintenance and becomes a gigantic radiator ensuring a temperature between 15 ° and 25 ° all year round.
