Modernism in the Alps: km Architektur

For escapes month, we've linked to some amazing eye candy, including several homes in the Andes by dRN Architects. Here's a European version of the modernist home with a mountain view: the Walensee House by km Architektur (found through ArchDaily). Located in the Swiss Alps, this home has wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows that let views and light into almost every room...

In addition to being beautiful, this is a green home with solar panels that produce most of the energy for the house.

The sliding glass doors allow air to circulate through the space, and the wraparound porch provides a great spot for taking in the scenic landscape.

This is fabulous. I am curious about the level of warmth (temperature) in this house with those windows. Living in Michigan and wanting a house with windows floor to ceiling, make me wonder if it is possible and still stay warm without $$ going to heat.

I'm sure they're quite efficient. These architects are pretty conscious of the environment and energy efficiency.
