"A House behind the Wall" The lot is divided by a Wall that defines an area facing north and another facing south. A positive/negative contrast was sought: to the north a completely closed gable, punctuated by a single opening, the entrance. To the south, two volumes open to the garden. To the north, the wall makes a slight inflection, delimiting and defining a paved square that gives access to the entrance of the house and to the garage. To the south, the wall's inflection creates two volumes - the core of the bedrooms, located east/south, and the social area (living room and kitchen) located south/west - and, naturally, two distinct garden areas. The entrance area is marked by a distribution hall with a large glazed window that opens to the garden.
