Le Haut-Bois

TRANSPARENCY
AND OPENNESS

The two structures, a 9- and a 6-storey building, are connected by the unique staircase that is both open on one side and glazed on the other. The reinforced concrete construction has no bearing function, but ensures safe evacuation in case of fire. Both the morning and evening sun shines into the open and transparent stairwell, offering a beautiful view of the surrounding mountain landscape.

Project Info

The housing development consists of two buildings, whose supporting structure is made of KLH® – CLT. The entire residential complex adheres to the passive house standard, which means that it is extremely efficient in terms of energy. As a result, a significantly improved level of living comfort is achieved.
