Maison en bois sur les crêtes du Jura in Guyans-Vennes, France by Cambiums ArchitecteSeptember 8th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Cambiums Architecte The structure incorporates motifs from the vernacular architecture of this part of the Jura. A simple rectangular volume covered by a pitched roof is set perpendicular to the contours of the terrain and the prevailing wind. Exploiting the site’s topography and history, the basement is built into the hollow of a small disused quarry. This buried level houses utility rooms and garages accessed via a gentle ramp from the road to the north.  Image Courtesy © Cambiums Architecte

The bedrooms and bathroom are on the upper level, where the view can be enjoyed from a covered balcony or through a stripe of glass.

The concrete masonry of the basement serves as a foundation for the timber construction of the upper two levels, which are clad in a rainscreen of horizontal boards of natural Larchwood.
