👉🏻Doha/Qatar: back to an architecture respecting the arid climate of Qatar☀☀🏜French embassy and ambassador’s residence 🏗👷

➡Bioclimatic architecture is expressed through a diversity of sober and sustainable constructive choices.

💡💡Among them, the wall located south of the embassy, isolated in raw earth with a thickness of more than 1 meter, a true demonstrator of the environmental approach carried by the project ♻

✅This thick wall, covered with a stone clading and a plaster, is designed to be a barrier to solar radiation and guarantee optimal thermal protection all year round (R eq. = 2.50 m². K/W), while contributing to the interior comfort of the spaces 🏡

🧱The raw earth, a geo-sourced, recyclable, reusable and very low-carbon impact material, is fully in line with the campus’ objectives of sobriety and high environmental quality🌍

👌🏻One example among others of a design designed to meet Qatar’s climate requirements… with ingenuity, sobriety and environmental requirements.
