The use of a fifth façade In France, the concept of a house involves a sloping roof. Maison Air et Lumière takes this representation by creating a "fifth facade" of the house's rooftop. The interplay of different roof slopes, as well as including solar and photovoltaic panels, drives the overall construction and allows for a full integration of the architectural elements. . A self-sufficient and responsible home Maison Air et Lumière is a bioclimatic project, in that ...
