#Repost @marcberthier_official ・・・ In 2021 my collaborators, @mikaela.kvan and Jonathan Renous, and I celebrate the long awaited production of Belvédère. First imagined in steel (1980) and in aluminium (1983), the concept of Belvédère has advanced over the years to accommodate technological advances, evolutions in material performance, and design towards a habitable structure both autonomous and bioclimatic. This year we finalize the first version of Belvédère, a house measuring 80m2 constructed from modules of light prefabricated metal, that can be Delivered as a kit and assembled on a platform of 200m2. Belvédère requires only its signature key and a drill to be built. No mechanical construction equipment is needed. as a dwelling that can be constructed and deconstructed wherever and whenever the inhabitant desires, Belvédère adapts to every environment and terrain. Belvédère’s climatic roof takes the form of an airplane wing using the Venturi effect in intrados. The extrados is used to produce energy using photovoltaic panels and capture rainwater that feeds a 2m3 reservoir at the base of the technical tower. Belvédères inhabited space is a thermally insulated innovation that conforms to High Environmental Quality (HQE) standards. On this momentous occasion I would like to thank the many contributors who have participated in bringing this project to fruition: @tanguy.desurmont @oscar.clermont @yffiklec @atelier_universel @clairelapassat I would also like to thank @dorianonavarra + la Galerie Enrico Navarra and @editionssebastienmoreu @sebastienmoreu for their continued support in realizing this project. Cheers to a fresh start in 2021 and to the long awaited production of Belvédère! Warmly, Marc Berthier
