"In the heart of a remarkable alpine landscape, the Josephine Baker student residence forges a close connection with its environment through an architecture that combines precise volumes and a dialogue between materials."
"Driven by a bioclimatic design, the project preserves the spirit and richness of the site. Renewable energy, summer comfort, and the choice of sustainable construction materials are emphasised, contributing to exemplary energy efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint."
Joséphine Baker student residence sits within a remarkable alpine landscape and establishes a close connection with its environment through architecture that balances precise volumes and a dialogue between materials. Bioclimatic design principles guide orientation, massing, façade composition, and passive strategies to preserve the spirit and richness of the site. Renewable energy systems combine with design measures to enhance summer comfort and reduce operational energy demand. Conscious selection of low‑impact, sustainable construction materials minimizes embodied carbon and supports durability. Integrated engineering and landscape responses enable exemplary energy efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint while providing comfortable, functional student housing adapted to mountain conditions.
