Timber-frame house in Maringues

A superb timber-frame house built at Maringues, in the Puy-de-Dôme, at the heart of the Limagne plain between Clermont-Ferrand and Vichy. Large picture windows facing due south to make the most of solar gain, a bright living room, a terrace and a rendered finish: the bio-based Blokiwood walls, insulated in wood fibre, guarantee optimal thermal mass against the hot, dry summers of the region.
