Imagining a walk through the woods, a family of six urban forms, trees that support a tiled roof, and soft, powdery tones of a color palette. The house becomes the landscape and the project is an invitation to wander through it.
Woody is a house located in a residential subdivision in Andernos-les-Bains. As local constraints require a tiled roof, elua® chose to draw inspiration from the region’s former tobacco-drying sheds, shaping a deliberately simple volume. The walls disappear to make way for a small woodland that supports the roof. By addressing the site’s initial lack of character in this way, we reversed the situation : architecture then becomes the landscape and its quality, drawing from the broader context and bringing it back into the heart of an ordinary subdivision. Within this woodland, a micro-city unfolds, housing the living spaces of the home.
The materials are natural, simple, and rustic, rooted in a coastal rurality that anchors the project in a recognizable landscape. While the exterior reveals the natural colors of the materials, wood for the trees and terracotta for the roof tiles, the interior is entirely clad in white throughout its volume. It then becomes a luminous canvas, receiving the countless nuances of shadows cast by the trees of the small wood supporting the roof.
The family of six volumes takes on soft, warm colors, recalling the powdery tones of makeup palettes and forming an interior skyline. With no visible roof structure disrupt the large volume, everything is concealed as much as possible through the use of long-span glued-laminated timber elements.
