Mission: Mission Complete

Total budget: 127 000 € 

Renovation of a hillside house with an ambitious renovation program to bring it up to energy efficiency standards (improving by 3 classes). The house is located in a protected area under the jurisdiction of the French National Heritage Architects, which led the client to use high-quality, bio-based materials.

The building had been extended over time using concrete blocks and was completely uninsulated.

​

Renovation Program:

- Exterior wall insulation of the upper floor using wood fiber insulation.

- Roof insulation under the rafters to maximize ceiling height using wood wool

- Installation of a mechanical ventilation system

- Partial replacement of windows and shutters with wooden frames

- Replacement of the gas heating system with an air-to-water heat pump for domestic hot water

 

In parallel, the work also included:

- Creating a master suite

- Opening up new views of the Cévennes mountains with the addition of new windows

- Reinforcing the house by repairing cracks

- Creating a new bathroom

- Rewiring the entire electrical system

(This work excludes the finishing touches, which the client decided to carry out themselves.)
