Holiday home Solar­fe­ri­enhaus S3

Solar­fe­ri­enhaus S3 (Solar Holiday Home S3) is proof of how an A‑frame house dating to the 1970s can be con­verted into an inno­vative energy-plus house that – with its modern archi­tec­tural lan­guage and purist interior design – can also appeal to design aes­thetes. Located in a former holiday village in Chiemgau, between the Chiemsee lake and Salzburg, the house pro­duces more energy than it uses. This energy surplus can then be used, for example, to charge an electric car or bicycle.

Rela­tively closed to the north side, the house opens up to the sun with its fully glazed south façade. Solar modules mounted on the large roof areas provide the house with energy, while the insu­lation ensures minimum heating and cooling requi­re­ments. Clay building boards on the interior walls store the heat in winter and keep the house cool in summer. A glass porch and a wooden cube, which includes a clo­a­kroom and a pro­tected canopy area with a solar filling station, are located in front of the house and act as indoor climate buffers.

The inte­riors are mini­malist and don’t follow any tra­di­tional “eco-aes­thetic”. On the ground floor you will find a bedroom and a bathroom as well as the living room, which opens all the way up to the pointed roof. The kitchen unit dis­ap­pears opti­cally into the black wall, and the further kitchen island merges into the dining table. A ladder leads up to the sleeping loft with a work area. The view extends far across to the mountain scenery of the Chiemgau Alps.

The house is part of a holistic concept that com­bines solar living, solar mobility and solar leisure. Guests can rent a solar car and drive a solar-powered cata­maran on the Chiemsee.
