When we opened the building site, I set myself a simple rule: use genuine materials and only pair them with technology that truly improves everyday life. The walls breathe thanks to a lime plaster, the floors smell of locally worked timber and on the south side of the roof photovoltaic panels sit flush and gleam.

For comfort we chose heat‑pump splits: they cool the rooms in minutes during summer and spread a soft warmth in winter while using very little energy. And because water is a precious gift, rainwater is collected in an underground tank and irrigates the vegetable garden and flowers without wasting a single drop.
