LVPH Architectes designs Treyvaux Cabin.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by ArchDaily
LVPH Architectes designed a self-sufficient cabin located on an agricultural domain in Treyvaux, Switzerland. The cabin is entirely made of wood and rests on 14 concrete pilings, minimizing its footprint and integrating it into the steep slope of the land. The house is completely self-sufficient, with drinking water from a source below the house, electricity generated by 63 photovoltaic panels on the roof, and hot water production ensured by a heat pump water heater that draws energy from the photovoltaic solar installation. The cabin is heated by a single wood stove located in the center of the house.
