The project is situated in a small rural village surrounded by pastures in the Vaud. The brief called for a principal house and the renovation of an existing building situated alongside the villages’ main road. The project was to create the main living quarters in what was the barn to keep the composition of the volumes surrounding the interior courtyard and to keep a coherence with the villages’ other buildings. The main volume was designed as one large roof, a screen wall in wood placed on a visually heavy base.
