The residential building, with Minergie standard, is located at an altitude of 1050 m in the ski center of Laax, Switzerland. The south facade is made of customized PV modules with high efficiency monocrystalline cells. The architectural language is characterized by the grey appearance of the solar cladding obtained by the all-black modules. This creates a uniform striped effect similar to the wooden cladding of the other facades. The grid-connected PV plant produces enough energy to supply the apartments.
