The  rectangular  plot  has  a  sloping  land  on  the  southwest  topside  of  the  Rebberg  hill  in  Altkirch   (France) and faces the rocky spur of the medieval city center.
A  simple  and  compact  volume  made  of  larch  wood  is  organized  on  two  levels.  The  construction   grows  in  length  against  the  top  of  the  hill  and  provides  the  most  generous  view  is  possible.  Only   the residential area is in the wood volume; all the associated uses of the house, so as the parking   and  garden  shed  are  made  of  cast  concrete.  The  volume  of  concrete  supports  the  north  road  of   the  plot  and  allows  to  firmly  anchor  the  wooden  frame  on  the  slope.  The  masonry  represents   therefore a mineral case for the wooden house.
The  house entry is naturally enlightened and is coupled to the parking area; the access to the  house is located on the top floor, just as the rooms. The kitchen, dining area and living room are in   the  lower  level,  directly  connected  to  the  garden.  The  circulations  zones  have  their  extremities   punctuated by large openings. The glass used in the bathroom and office is treated by a process   of frosted glass partitions, guaranteeing the privacy for who is inside. 
All  house  spaces  counts  with  a  beautiful  view  thanks  to  glass  panels  of  all  widths.  To  create  a   natural  sunscreen  to  the  house,  the  down  floor  facade  is  fully  glazed  and  the  top  floor  facade   receives a cantilever. The thermal regulation is therefore very efficient: winter sunrays come lower   and  can  penetrate  the  house  (increasing  approximately  7°C  on  the  inside  average  temperature);  
and summer sunrays come higher and are blocked. 
At  least,  another  interesting  aspect  of  the  house  is  that  the  wood  used  (framing,  larch  siding,  all   inside  woodwork  and  wood  windows)  in  it  comes  entirely  from  local  resources,  which  make  the   construction not only more economic but also (and mostly) healthier and sustainable.
