Our project is guided by the objective of going as far as possible in the way of the lasting development.
For doing so, we are making every effort in collaboration with the architecture office :
Jean-François and Corinne MERMILLOD, to build an architecture which will be beneficial through eight characteristics:

CRITERION 1 : ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY MATERIALS
Showing regards for humans our planet, the beneficial architecture uses natural and safe materials. Our choice rejects the materials whose nosciousness is ack knowledge or firmly suspected, as a precaution.

CRITERION 2 : BIOCLIMATIC
The beneficial architecture harmonizes with the climate in order to turn it to the best account or to protect from it.

CRITERION 3 : RENEWABLE ENERGIES
We will have to show a lot of imagination in the way of having energy expenses, starting with thinking about our needs again and with favoring renewable energies.
Sun, wind, water, earth heat constitute inexhaustible resources provided they are managed with the conscientiousness of the climatic balance of the planet and with common sense.

CRITERION 4 : CONNECTION WITH THENATURE
Every creation has to contribute to the balance of the environment it is involved in “Tas of ecology, E. Boldsmith”

CRITERION 5 : THE EARTH RADIATES
he beneficial architecture seeks after the balance of “cosmotelluric” radiations which are required for life and which lead our health.

CRITERION 6 : IN THE MEN'S SERVICE
The beneficial architecture is in the men’s service in its ins and outs.

CRITERION 7 : IN RELATION WITH OUR FIVE SENS
The relation that we keep up with our environment puts up with the perception of our five senses.
While sublimating our five senses, the beneficial architecture contributes to our well-being and to our equilibrium.

CRITERION 8 : EVALUATIVE
Beneficial architecture shows the capacity of the being and evaluates at the pace of its physical and spiritual needs.
Time puts rython into our lives from birth to dealh we live an endless number of transformations that our spaces ofliving have to attend and even to anticipate.
