The plot is located on the edge of the village, along a ridge path overlooking the “Eau d’Heure” valley. It is set along a not very dense, but nevertheless very well laid out street.

The living space is intended to have a ‘variable geometry’, allowing flexibility between common and private spaces, making it possible for several inhabitants to live together – a ‘kangaroo’ dwelling.

By removing some walls, opening up internal windows, and using light wells, we have been able to bring light deeper into the spaces.
