House Under The Cliff
Information

location_on Location: Salève, France

date_range Date: 2017

architecture Architect: Agence AUM Pierre Minassian

emoji_objects Solutions & technologies: Envelope

Entirely made of raw concrete, the building echos the cliff and colors of Salève, Haute Savoie. 

Its plan, which follows the shape of a three-pointed star, offers the occupants a multitude of views of the exceptional landscape that surrounds them and a variety of gardens and terraces they can enjoy at any time of the day. The contemporary moucharabieh in Ductal® concrete punctuates the upper part of the facades, gives them their unity and protects the occupants from the external glances while inviting the play of light inside the private spaces that are the rooms and bathrooms.
