This barn conversion project in Fenalet stands out for its blend of authenticity, modernity and sustainability. The high-end construction of these 3 chalet-style village houses will reflect the village's aesthetic codes as far as possible. Existing structures will be preserved as far as possible. The facades will be reworked with vertical wood panelling to recall the original character of the building, and opened up to bring in more light.
All connections will be made in accordance with municipal guidelines, as will an external drainage system.
Also planned: new inverts, PVC piping, timber framing, mechanical tile and copper roofing, triple-glazed wooden windows, wooden doors and staircases, external aluminium slatted blinds, underfloor heating.
High-quality kitchen and bathroom fittings, natural wood joinery.
In terms of energy efficiency, this project meets Minergie building standards and is part of a sustainable approach, with solutions that comply with current standards: installation of triple-glazed windows, photovoltaic panels on the roof coupled with a heat pump to produce heating and domestic hot water, perimeter insulation and underfloor heating for optimum comfort.
Each dwelling will have an independent electrical panel located in the separate technical room shared by the three units with the heat pump system.
The choice of finishes is entirely up to the tenant, and interior layouts are fully customizable, allowing you to create a space that reflects your tastes and needs. Quality materials and finishing options are described in detail in the construction specifications.
Project developed with EPFL/SIA architects and local partners.
Construction has begun, delivery in summer 2026.
