House 3B
Bottenwil (CH)
To take advantage of the beautiful view into the small valley of canton Aargau, the house sits high on the steep hillside property. The access is provided by a garage located at street level and an underground staircase connecting the entrance and the residence. The areas on the ground floor are made of exposed concrete with a pine plywood formwork. Above it a wooden timber construction covered with shingles outside and rough-sawn white fir boards inside evolves. The simple saddle roof is covered with cedar shingles, whose durability exceeds the silver fir and whose color already turns grey after a few months. The building complies with the Swiss Minergie-P Standard - it is a passive house operated by a geothermal heat pump and a room ventilation with heat recovery to preserve resources.
