Highlights

Solelyâ is the first home with a green rooftop deck in Coupeaux, in the collective of Les Houches. That decision and the work on the fifth façade came about because of a considered procedure and a longing to regard the earth – in natural terms as well as far as admiration, by restricting direct sightlines to neighbors. On these precarious Coupeaux slopes, the perspective from a rooftop incorporates a perspective of downhill neighbors.

With regards to sound standards of warm regulation, noteworthy work went into enhancing the utilization of sun powered vitality.

Solelyâ now has two identities, reflected in its two particular passages: a down to earth, family-situated passageway, and a more sensational passageway for visitors. The cantilevered structure of Solelyâ is especially refined, without any posts.
