The TERRA ONE with its integrated 4-season greenhouse is an optimized house with an original contemporary design that totals 1592 square feet. This ecological house is part of our catalog of plans: Iluma.
The TERRA ONE is composed of a bright walkout basement where there are 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom plus a laundry room and the master bedroom with its private bathroom and closet. The main floor with its cathedral ceiling offers an open space with the kitchen, the dining room and the living room which offers a bird's eye view of the surrounding woodland.
One of the specific aspects of this house is its 4-season greenhouse, integrated directly into the building, on the main floor, which is accessed through the kitchen. A room bathed in light that will allow its occupants to cultivate and soak up the sun in all seasons.
It is an ecological project, but above all logical. The energy performance is mainly based on the well-insulated building envelope (with natural materials such as rockwool in the walls and cellulose in the roof), then on an extremely waterproof envelope, with triple-glazed windows, a South orientation and an efficient VRE.

The TERRA ONE was designed to meet a strong demand: to have a habitat and a more resilient way of life (a habitat allowing to develop its food autonomy). A need to return to the land, to eat local, to produce its vegetables, its herbs ... Oriented South in order to have a maximum of sunshine throughout the year, this greenhouse is a major asset of this house as much in terms of vegetable production, as the light and comfort it produces for its occupants.
