GIMMELWALD, SWITZERLAND.
The Alpine Eco House is located in a small traffic free village called Gimmelwald in Switzerland. Different elements such as the use of self- generating energy and the reuse of water are important factors when building the Eco house. Other elements including sheep wool and passive low-E windows are considered as this eco house experiences extreme temperature changes in the winter season. An indoor greenhouse built within the resident allows for the growth of fresh local greens.
Inspired by the landscapes of the Swiss Alps located in Switzerland, the goal of the Alpine Eco House is to create a simple, quiet, and sustainable atmosphere for residents. The overall space will opt for a clean and contemporary style interior. Using the geometry that resembles the Swiss Alps, steep arches will be used in the overall roof design of the exterior. This is to create a higher ceiling height to the space and a more spacious atmosphere for residents living there.
