Description
An eco-friendly and cost-efficient build
This bioclimatic home has been constructed using natural materials: straw-clay and lime walls, a structure made from locally sourced Douglas fir wood (Chalabre), natural insulation materials, and non-toxic paints and wood oils.
Excellent energy performance
The property’s A-rated energy efficiency is achieved thanks to several key features.
The main heating system is a wood-burning stove, supported by a Canadian well system combined with a double-flow ventilation system (VMC double flux). This setup uses stable underground air to improve indoor air quality and increases thermal comfort by raising indoor temperatures by a few degrees when needed, while also helping to regulate heat during the summer months.
The house is insulated with straw in the floors and walls, and partially with straw and wood fibre in the roof structure.
Windows are high-performance glazing.
A flexible and family-friendly home
The property currently offers five bedrooms: four on the ground floor, and a fifth upstairs accessed via the mezzanine, with large windows offering stunning views of the Pyrenees. This upstairs bedroom is open onto the mezzanine space.
There is one bathroom on the ground floor, fitted with a shower, WC and double sink. Plumbing has already been installed in several areas of the house to allow for the easy creation of additional bathrooms, including in the night area, the large utility room, and the separate WC.
