The idea is to create a strong relation between the house and its environment to always enjoy the exposure to the garden. In answer to the budget limitation, all materials are locally sourced.

The mass of the house is organized in respect of subtle dynamic longitudinal and transversal dissymetries that avoid any land corridor effect. The living room, dining room and the kitchen are arranged to stay fully open to the garden and to be naturally ventilated. To limit the use of air-conditioning that would transform the houses into a hermetic box, passive strategies were employed to ensure the protection of the house against the inconveniences of local climate, such as shadings and green roof.
