Alpine House 01 features thermal mass design with insulated polished concrete floors and exposed precast concrete walls, maximizing views and solar gain while minimizing heat loss, all within a durable structure suited for a challenging alpine climate.
This Alpine House was designed around thermal mass. With insulated polished concrete floors throughout and internally exposed precast concrete wall panels, it holds heat and maintains even temperatures through the harshest winters. Full depth and width glazing to the North and East makes the most of the great views and solar gain, but there is minimal West & South glazing, reducing both heat loss and overheating. It has been carefully detailed with durable cladding and roofing to perform in a challenging alpine climate.
