The villa L2 is a long house of 5,50m by 20,70m,
which skips into the site and settles on the natural ground by avoiding impacts
on the topography and the nature of the site. It becomes integrated into the
site by the link maintained with neighbouring houses, respect of heights, occupation
of the plot of land, …
It develops in Ground Floor with the living
rooms consisted of a lounge and 3 bedrooms, which are widely opened on the
various gardens.
The choice of materials was dictated by the
landscaped environment on one hand, the forest of pine trees and of the other
one by the tones of the village for the zinc. The villa is the interstice between
2 atmospheres characterized by 2 gardens:
- The main garden is occupied up to south end
by the existing pine forest, which gets in the beautiful days the ideal shade
for the villa. The ageing of the natural wood on the south facade will allow to
get closer to the tone of trees existing on the site by assuring a perfect
integration.
- A
cottage garden develops in the North, between the limit and the house; it is a
closed garden convenient to the vegetable and floral cultures in memory of this
old market garden plot.
Wooden shutters in the south and zinc
shutters in the North will close the house, widely opened on the outside when
inhabited, when non-inhabited. It so takes its sense: a box of raw wood
protected by a "zinc hand".
