Projet de deux maisons contemporains BBC (basse consommation) en ossature bois avec des toitures terrasses végétalisées. Les bâtiments ont été conçus de manière à limiter les mouvements du terrain car la volumétrie des maisons s’adapte au terrain en pente et le laisse quasiment inchangé. Les parties habitables sont relevées, ce qui permet aux habitants de bénéficier de la vue exceptionnelle sur la chaîne des Alpes.

This classic cable rail was fabricated out of steel in sections at our facility. Each section was welded together on-site and painted with a flat black urethane. The cable was run through the posts in each section and then tensioned to the correct specifications. The simplicity of this rail gives an un-obstructed view of the beautiful surrounding valley and mountains. The front steps grab rail was measured and laid out onsite, and was bolted into place on the rock steps. The clear-cut grabrails inside for the basement stairs were formed and mounted to the wall. Overall, this beautiful home nestled in the heart of the Wyoming Mountains is one for the books.
