  • Architecture competition :

     

    A PASSIVE HOUSE CONSTRUCTION

    IN SEIGNOSSE

     

    (competition over)

    Winning Project
  • THE COMPETITION

    Near the ocean and the Hossegor Lake, Caroline and Charl are currently owners of a 1700sqm plot and want to build a 300sqm passive house to live as sustainable as possible. As a historical touristic area, the Landes county suffers from the urban sprawl and the lack of sustainable buildings necessary to change mindsets.

     

    Aware of the footprint of every new construction in this world, they want to build their project as an example for the next decades in terms of environmental performance, design and nature relationship.

     

    As nature lovers, the project owners also want to create an exemplary project of biophilic design. Behind this scholarly name, the aim is to build a house where landscape and architecture are designed together to create a real-life experience aimed at the well-being of the occupants, the biodiversity of the plot and the surrounding environment.

     

    The entire project will have to meet Passivhaus institute’s Passive House certification requirements and reach the carbon footprint level of the E+C experiment launched by the French government as low as possible. Contemporary and biophilic design.

     

    This project is not just a house project. It aims to become a reference in responsible architecture, aware of the energy and environmental challenges we face.

  • FAQ

    does the team imperatively need to include engineering design offices, or specialized consultants?

    It is highly recommended to work with engineering consultants and design offices with references of passive houses, in the event that the architects do not have one. The project design and management fees is defined in the regulation.

    what do you mean by "a maximum of 6 projects, 2 of which can be projects which have not been executed" ?

    A maximum of 6 projects, delivered (or under construction with a photo of the building site) will be examined by the client. However, the candidate can choose to present 2 unrealized projects (lost competition, project under design, etc.)

    can i attach a pdf portofolio to my application?

    In the interest of fairness, portfolio on PDF format are not accepted. Only projects and elements uploaded on BAM will be considered.

    can engineering design offices or consultants create their own portfolio on bam?

    Portfolio on BAM can be created by architectural firms only. Other partners will be mentioned in the application file.

    Any references of passive houses of the engineering consultants should be included in the team's cover letter when applying.
