Home Yurt by Mathilde Yence

ArchiPro Project Summary - Innovative zero carbon home design inspired by yurt elements, featuring a central ceramic stove, flexible spaces, and sustainable materials including massive timber structure and recycled fabric insulation.

Title:: Home Yurt
Architect:: Mathilde Yence
Category:: Residential

How to design a zero carbon, low price, and evolutive home?

The answer is in the shape, the material and the volume, inspired by the yurt’s elements of identity

Heating the whole space (300m2 floors) with a ceramic stove, slow heat release wood fireplace, placed in the middle, around witch the staircase is wrapping and split the space into 4 different levels/half levels

Some parts could be closed in different times, or be changed to differents functions.

No doors, trampoline floor, tarpauline walls, natural light sprays from everywhere.

Massive timber structure, wooden frame walls, recycling fabric isolation, gypsum-cardboard panels, cross-laminated timber panels floors, wooden windows double glazed, zinc roof

Mathilde Yence. The architect’s first material is your dreams, then comes reality. From dreams to reality and from reality to dreams, there is a thread between the two... Playing with the tension of this thread is what makes spaces come alive! Because we cross through spaces from one to another, we physically experience sequences. Spaces are made of sequences, they are never isolated. The context of the project’s surroundings goes into the design. So the way I identify the context becomes part of my project. That’s how I begin a design, by trying to make it simple, efficient and bright. Architects and designers play a role in transforming the global economy from a linear to a circular model. Our designs should support a system which generates no waste or pollution, it should support spaces in the making, evolving environments. Because we create so many buildings, we need to insist on materials that can be reused or converted again and again, developing by themselves. We need to promote passive houses and energy-plus buildings, we need to use raw earth, green roofs, biosourced materials, natural light… all of this means circularity rather than linearity.
