Project to Build Seven Standalone Houses
Located in Saint-Jean-d'Illac, this collective housing project is set in a pine forest. The horizontality of its delicately built sequence contrasts with the surrounding trees' verticality and random rhythm.<br />
<br />
A straightforward principle guides the task at hand: a closed volume housing technical areas alongside a living space open to the surrounding countryside.<br />
<br />
The project proposes a continuum of residents' engagement with the space, from intimacy to togetherness. <br />
<br />
You must first cross a public outdoor area to enter your private indoor space. You will then pass through a semi-private terrace to access the shared garden, which is open to all residents. The ground floor houses the day areas connected to the outside, while the night areas are upstairs.<br />
<br />
Each dwelling can be customised from a studio flat to a four-room residence.<br />
