An urban positioning for a small suburban house.
A light, sensitive, and living skin that transforms throughout the day. A rounded volume that plays with openings, shadows,
and textures to evoke the pleats of a petticoat, the vaporous outlines of a cloud, and the softness of interiority.
The residents wish to enlarge the living room and imagine a new dining area.
The project takes the form of a pleated curve that slides between the right wing and the garden. The quarter-circle design recalls the
classical geometry used in Art Deco architecture, particularly visible on the main façade of the house. The existing window lintels are
rounded, and the moldings and wrought-iron elements echo this motif, enriched with a graphic vegetal inspiration. Our design
revisits these themes.
In a growing movement towards the garden, the sloping form creates a generous interior volume while preserving a soft, organic,
and lightweight silhouette from the outside. The entirely wooden structure is clad with a skin of white metal and milky sinusoidal
polycarbonate, reinforcing the overall lightness.
Translucent and pleated like the fabric of a petticoat, it drapes over the curve like a garment, playing with transparencies to give
depth to the volume.
This veil lifts to reveal a soft and soothing interior space, lined with wood and shades of pink. This gently sloping inner world extends
the living room of the house and offers a modular dimension, able to adapt to the residents’ needs: dining room, library, reception
area, workspace, guest bedroom.
The free and random forms of the project, the play of skins and transparencies, and the sinusoidal motif recall the work of couture
and contribute to the joyful spirit of the extension. This freedom of design also creates a link between the existing house and the free,
generous nature of the garden at the heart of the block.
