Each practice is sized according to the ideal proportions related to its own function.
And then the envelopp is hiding the parts that are not needed to be seen.
The volumes are then assembled in such a way as to alternate the relation between exterior and interior zones.
The idea is that each space has a simultaneous relationship to a nearby landscape and a distant landscape.
Fragmentation also makes it possible to give a more modest scale to the project.
The house is located in a suburb west of Paris where most of the buildings are white, the facade principle was to make the building in white stained concrete. From a distance the building appears smooth and white and up close the texture of the concrete appears through the stain which is quite transparent.
