项目位于瑞士Canton Berne的一个小村庄中，周边是开阔的耕地。根据当地的历史保护法规，这里的建筑外形必须和伯尔尼老农场房屋协调一致，而业主则希望建造一栋明亮现代的自给式住宅。

The site is located in the midst of a vast and open cultivated landscape in a small village in the Swiss Canton Berne. To build a house on this plot the requirement was set by the monument protection that it should look like an old Bernese farmer house to fit its surroundings. At the same time the landlord wished a modern, light-flooded and self-sustaining house.

为了实现自给自足，建筑要有出色的保温能力，并且可以通过自身产生足够多的电能和热层。室内，玻璃天花保证阳光可以照亮建筑的各个角落。建筑师尽量减少隔墙的使用，为业主提供了一个开放的现代生活工作空间。80厘米厚的草砖墙将热量消耗控制在最小，太阳能屋顶获得的热能和电能被储存在地下室的电池系统中，在需要的时候为建筑供暖。

The solution was a building that needs as little heating as necessary and produces as much thermic and electrical energy as possible. Inside the house, glass ceilings ensure that daylight can penetrate fully into the whole building. The reduction of inside walls allows the owners to live and work in a big open modern space. The 80 centimeter thick straw-bale walls guarantee minimal heat losses. The electrical and thermic energy gained on the solar roof is stored in a home battery system and in a 5000 l solar tank located in the basement. If needed the house can be heated by the stored thermic energy.
