Inspiration from architect:

The design for the Denis-Ortmans house arose from discussions concerning the scope of possibilities for single-family dwellings that respect the rules of sustainable development. We used cutting-edge technology to create a structure that was economical and environmentally friendly, provided a comfortable living space, and which reflected an informed approach to contemporary design.
