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.
