For optimal integration into the site, the architectural expression of the building is based on a subtle logic of contemporary transpositions of valued features found in traditional Jura constructions, particularly agricultural buildings. The proposed structure is wrapped in an openwork wooden cladding, creating an interplay of transparency, translucency, and opacity. The variable composition of the openings and their deliberately non-aligned arrangement contribute to a unique identity, blending neo-rural aesthetics with creativity. The wooden construction, high-performance thermal envelope, natural light optimization, and reliance on renewable energy sources (geothermal probes and photovoltaic roof) result in a low-carbon building.
