Status . Under construction

One sloped roof that is slightly pushed under the other... it seems like a small design decision, but it allows the elongated living volume to be broken up, resulting in better integration into the rural environment.

Fun fact: the rear "lower" volume is actually the double-height living space, which only reveals itself after entering this space from the lower spaces in the original first volume.

It is only at the very end of the architectural walk through this elongated volume that the visitor is lifted a few steps entering the living room and the covered terrace, to take in the wide landscape
