Project description in English
The living takes place under a large simple, two pitch roof. Beneath it, a series of boxes offers the intimate, hidden spaces of the house; introverted rooms, with low height, with ordinary windows. These boxes negatively draw the dominant, day space, in which the furniture elements that entrust domesticity find their place: the table, the sofa, the kitchen, etc. The experience of changing the architectural scale is thus strengthened by the type of roof (pitched/horizontal), light and chiaroscuro, glazing, etc. The height of the boxes is lower precisely to allow the roof to keep its integrity and formal simplicity; on these boxes there is a place to read and storage spaces. The structure of the house is made of wood (construction process: 9 months in total); as the roof is the architectural element that gathers and concentrates the spaces, we wanted to render visible the expression of its structure and construction in the interior image of the house (the thermal insulation being placed over the floor).
