Three-room house with porch: a linear, elegant and functional solution

When designing a single-family home, we often focus on interior spaces…
but it is the relationship with the outdoors that really makes the difference.

This proposal comes from right here:
πŸ‘‰ a three-room house with linear development, designed to enhance the garden and experience outdoor spaces in a natural, everyday way.

🌿 The porch: a real alternative to the bioclimatic pergola.

In recent years there has been much talk about bioclimatic pergolas.
They are interesting solutions, but not always the best choice.

The porch, however, remains a solution:

  • more robust and integrated into the architecture
  • more durable over time
  • Often even more consistent with the local context

In this project, the porch becomes a true extension of the house:
πŸ‘‰ a covered, raised, wood-finished space ideal for outdoor dining, relaxation and daily living.

πŸ“ A house designed for the lot

The approach is simple but extremely effective:

πŸ‘‰ linear development on rectangular lot

All main rooms overlook the garden:

  • Living area completely open to the outdoors
  • rooms with direct or visual access to green space
  • maximum independence between spaces

This means a home:

  • brighter
  • more livable
  • More connected to the outside world

Of course, the design is always adaptable:
βœ” lot size
βœ” distances from boundaries
βœ” solar orientation

🏠 Distribution of spaces

The house is designed for about 130 square meters of living space, with a balanced distribution:

Living area

  • living room-kitchen open space: 48 square meters

Sleeping area

  • 2 single rooms of 9 square meters
  • 1 double bedroom of 14 square meters
  • 5 sqm walk-in closet

Services

  • 2 bathrooms (4 and 5 square meters)
  • technical room: 4 square meters
  • hallway: 5 sqm

Outdoor Spaces

  • porch: 24 sqm

Accessories

  • Garage: 20 sqm (can be expanded or converted into a carport)

🧱 Architectural style: modern or traditional?

One of the most interesting aspects of this solution is its aesthetic flexibility.

The same house can take on very different characters:

  • Tile roof β†’ more traditional
  • standing seam sheet β†’ more contemporary
  • flat roof β†’ minimal modern language

πŸ‘‰ This allows the design to be adapted to the landscape context and personal tastes.

⚑ A house with near-zero energy consumption.

Like all the houses we design, this one is designed as an NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building).

This means:

  • high thermal insulation
  • exclusive use of electricity
  • autonomous energy production

Specifically:

  • 20 cm coat + 5 cm interior insulation
  • photovoltaic system of about 6.5 kWp
  • provision for storage batteries
  • no gas connection

🌬️ Living comfort: always clean and controlled air

One element that is often underestimated is air quality.

Therefore, the house is equipped with controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV):

  • continuous air exchange
  • up to 90% heat recovery
  • humidity and COβ‚‚ control.
  • integration with summer dehumidification

πŸ‘‰ The result is consistent indoor comfort in all seasons.

πŸͺ΅ X-Lam structure: solidity and sustainability

The structure is made of X-Lam panels, a well-established technology.

Main advantages:

  • high seismic resistance
  • excellent energy behavior
  • speed of construction
  • natural and sustainable material

The walls are designed with a high-performance stratigraphy, which guarantees:

  • insulation
  • thermal inertia
  • acoustic comfort

πŸ”Œ Installations: all electric, simple and efficient

The facility is designed to be:

  • efficient
  • integrated
  • easy to handle

Provides:

  • air/water heat pump
  • radiant floor heating and cooling
  • domestic hot water boiler
  • VMC with dehumidification

πŸ‘‰ No gas use, only electricity.

🌍 A zero-mile home.

Our homes are zero-mile one aspect we care a lot about is the supply chain:

  • local suppliers
  • traceable materials
  • easier after-sales service

This also means:

πŸ‘‰ less gray energy
πŸ‘‰ more quality control

✏️ A customized project, not a model

It is important to make this clear:
this is not a “standard house.”

It is a feasibility study, designed as a baseline.

Each design is then adapted according to:

  • lot
  • budget
  • needs of the family

πŸ‘‰ Conclusion

This house represents our way of designing well:

  • simple but not trivial
  • efficient but concrete
  • beautiful but mostly livable

Most importantly:
πŸ‘‰ a home that is born from the place and the people who will inhabit it.
