The project aims to promote the integration of a building into a landscape disfigured by the levelling work. The house takes the original form of the mountain in order to recreate the link between architecture and environment. The green roof makes it possible to make direct union with the luxuriant vegetation surrounding the construction. From the start of the project, the gardens were worked in correlation with the constructions, more than 30 trees were planted in order to reforest the site. The double roof provides great protection against the sun and rain. The air circulates naturally to cool the whole house. The arrangement plays on indoor/outdoor spaces.

The agency was in charge of the entire project:

  1. Concept and design of the house.
  2. Site monitoring and administrative procedures.
  3. Design and manufacture of furniture and decoration.
  4. Design and creation of the garden.

"Our aim was to recreate the link between architecture and environment."
