Project of a villa in the Savoyard countryside, to realize this project, we will work with the concept of the in-between (relation Exterior-Interior). We wished to integrate the villa into its site by being inspired by local barns while proposing a contemporary project in order to avoid being locked into the past vernacular architecture.
The southwest façade with its shutters opens up to the surrounding landscape with a 270-degree view of Lake Geneva.
As for the North-East facade, from a line drawing the functional spaces, it is transformed into a solid wall composed of laminated wood without openings to protect itself visually but also from the icy winds of the Chablais. Between these two contrasts, an East/West corridor rises up, like a spine, it is composed of walkways, a glass roof in the upper part allowing the adjacent spaces to be flooded with natural Skylight, this element serves the whole project. While offering framed views of the surrounding landscape.
This project is primarily intended to be a functional family cocoon equipped with natural materials, the villa sits on its site via its mini-piles allowing air circulation in summer and using flaps to close the space, forms a cushion of warm air in winter.
The project follows the slope of the land, which brings to the interior space half levels that are divided into 5.
3 for the ground floor and 2 for the first floor. This solution allows a gradual evolution of the space from 50cm to 150cm.
The roof consists of a solarium to enjoy the environment without being seen to enjoy the weather & time.
