This house stands on a relatively narrow strip of land. The south-easter neighboring plot hosts a house, but the north-west neighboring plot is a cultivated field. As we don’t need much north light and to avoid damages due to the agricultural work, the north façade was thought of as a shield. Made of exposed concrete, this shell extends to the north-east façade to become a sculptural carport. The core of the house, the stairs, and the toilets are also made of concrete. Above and around these concrete parts, the walls are made of wood. These walls are wide to provide efficient insulation.
Seen from outside, there are only two main materials: the concrete and the black wooden cladding. This simple assembly allows this house to assert itself in a typical and heterogeneous way.
