Living outside, space, air, light.
How to live the countryside? How do you live in a forest? What are the ambiances?
What are the specific characteristics of a habitat in the countryside?
A highly contextual architecture, generous balconies, traversing housings...
Those are quali-ties that appears generally at the end of the studies.
Here they are the starting point.
Deliv-ered in December 2014, the simple and compact volumetric ensures both technical and economical efficiency on the construction.
We developed a very rational system of con-struction and distribution of housing so that we could integrate in the budget of the opera-tion external surfaces largely dimensioned.
Our wish is to be able to offer each inhabitant large spaces of external life associated with their housing, in direct contact with the landscape.
