In the forest, upscale, exclusive design, on the client’s sketch
Nomination award Domus Sustainability 2019
Ground floor 980 ft 2
Floor 907 ft 2
The client, a couple of restaurateurs, provided an initial plan for a single-family home, which we revisited with them. One of the features to be respected was the use of the flat roof to create a terrace. The back of the carport, at the back, was to open on the forest, like a vast window. The kitchen area had to keep its functionality, for a chef who works there, while offering an aesthetic environment well integrated with the rest of the property. It was necessary to adopt an innovative approach to optimize the general orientation of the building in the forest, to place the house in its case of greenery, opened on the south for the sunshine. It involved placing a complex structure of a pleasing visual dimension into a space for the eventual addition of a kitchen workshop. A final touch is achieved by a steel staircase of our design.
