Built in the 1970s, this center town house is comprised of two principal floors, each of 100 square meters.
The first floor brings together the most precious and valued rooms of the home, with a view over the valley of Yon, while the ground floor was designed to compile the more low-status rooms (boiler room, garage...).

The challenge for the architect was to successfully leverage the direct connections of the ground floor with the garden and courtyard. This was necessary in order to transform the low-lit floor with little light into an open, airy and pleasant living area.

The project consists of two main areas; the living area organized in a row on the “town” side of the house and a sleeping area with three bedrooms, overlooking the garden. These two areas are separated by a wall.

This wall serves a specific purpose in each space through which it passes. For example, it serves as a bookcase in the office, or a wardrobe in the bedrooms. This delicate articulation offers a changing perception. The visual game makes accessing each room more intimate, characterized by wooden niches.

The service furniture has been worked in detail and finesse in order to fit more perfectly in this large open space. All the furniture present is represented as a designed object.
