The Samaras – Villa

Genolier

This future 2 unit villa is to be erected on a long lot in the town of Genolier, on the footprint of an earlier single-unit villa.

Thus the challenge is to optimise the use of space in order to split the lot. Adding a second storey will give residents a stunning panoramic view of Mont Blanc and expand the floor area to 304 m², yielding 2 units with 5 rooms each.

The double-unit villa shall adopt an architecture based on a wooden frame and facade with stone foundations, in accordance with regulations for the chalet zone.

Both homes are to share a ground-level entrance and common areas. Inside, there will be a laundry room, garage, and a bike storage area. On the outside, a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and recreation room will mark the northern limit of the lot.

Designed to achieve very high energy performance (THPE rating), the duplex will rely on thermal and photovoltaic solar panels, a water-to-water heat pump, and solar water heating system storage tank for much of its needs. MINERGIE P, MINERGIE ECO, and MINERGIE A certifications are all targeted.
