The implementation of the project was born from a staging of the view. Two simple volumes of wood, are leaning against the chevron-shaped hill at the top of the plot. The building seems to be anchored in the ground. It emerges from the handling of the land, according to the various excavations and embankments, resting on the reinforced concrete retaining walls. A concrete column-and-beam system supports a platform on which volumes of wood are set.
The project is part of a strong sustainable development approach. To create a quality built environment, favourable to the preservation of landscapes, materials, energies and natural resources
