About Holiday House in Cap Ferret

Eco-Conscious Design in Cap Ferret

This project in Cap Ferret aims to minimize its impact on the local greenery. The terrain slopes gently toward the sea, featuring a grove of strawberry, palm, and pine trees characteristic of the area. The design of the house harmonizes with the landscape, reminiscent of a wood cabin. It features large visual openings that enhance the connection with the surrounding nature.

Preserving Natural Beauty

The placement of the house helps preserve the site’s existing trees, reducing environmental disruption. The slanted roofs contribute to a lighter building silhouette and eliminate the need for gutters. This allows pine needles and leaves to slide off the roof effortlessly.

Integration with the Environment

The facade primarily uses wood to blend seamlessly with the pine grove. It also incorporates large glass openings that reflect the surroundings and add a sense of openness. This design approach not only respects the environment but also enhances the aesthetic value of the building.
