The project is based on four entities: the house of Madame, the house of Mister, the autumn-winter space on a basement and the spring-summer terrace.
The house of Mister is an independent entity of the basement facing the house of Madame. In the history of the XXth century, the House of Madam, was designed as a dependence ; here the house of Mister home represents the replica to this tradition. Both spaces have nearly the same proportions, including a bedroom and the bathroom, in direct access to the terrace.
At the architectural scale, the project stands out also in an affirmed insularity. The four spaces floats in the middle of the garden that we go down to access the base autumn-winter. The latter distinguish itself by a warm white color, aligned on its south side in the continuity of the house of Madame to enjoy the rising sun and morning rays.
The project embodies a residential lifestyle of the inhabitant, closer to the hotel than to that of the house. The bedroom, the bathroom, and the boudoir are the centerpieces, the ones where he spends the most time. Whereas, the fall-winter and spring-summer rooms are dedicated to friends and reception. They can accommodate up to 6 guests. Nevertheless, alone, the inhabitant can also appropriate the common spaces ; the large dining table is cut into thirds for the computer, the meal, and the books.
The spring-summer terrace is also hybrid if there are guests or not. It can welcome up to 60 people (1.8 people per m2), under the sunset filtered by silver poplars’ leaves. Otherwise, it becomes an ideal solarium from the first days of spring. Its floor material particularly enhances the complexions of the whitest skins and the tanned complexions, covered with 48 m2 of white travertine.
