建筑与景观紧密交织，室内室外界限模糊。建筑是地形，是景观。融入自然的建筑。

这个宅子距离巴黎市中心不到半小时，新建部分与之前的18世纪老房子相连。场地占地近5000平米，每一位家庭成员都有自己的私人领域。当地的建筑法规规定这里适合建造坡屋顶单体建筑，但如果平屋顶建筑面积不超过25平米，也是被允许。因此建筑师设计了5个塔楼，每个塔楼的朝向不一致，相互避开视线交叉，他们从一个覆盖着绿化的低层建筑中探出来。每个塔楼的单层面积不超过25平米，地面层是更衣室和储层空间，浴室、二层是卧室。

MAISON L « A house as a small town »

Less than half an hour’s drive west from Paris city center, designed as an extension of a private residence to an 18th-century structure, sought to provide every family member with a private realm. The roughly 5000 m2 plot of old trees called for a project that would leave the spacious ground predominantly untouched.

The design foresaw an amorphous plinth storey with curved stone walls heaped up with earth and used as a general living area. Local building regulations only allow one single building with a gabled or hipped roof. However, in exceptional cases, flat roofs, as long as they do not exceed 25m2 each (e.g. : garages), can be provided. Thus, projecting above the accessible planted roof five tower-like volumes have been argued and actually implemented. Positioned to frame a specific perspective of the site, each « tower » houses a dressing room and storage space (ground floor), bathroom (1st floor) and a bedroom (2nd floor).

House and landscape are intimately interwoven, boundaries between indoors and outdoors are blurred: The south-eastern facade emerges out of a complex topography between the house and its landscape. Carved towards every entrance in the glazing the river-bed-shaped, undulating terrain distorts, blending the construction into nature.
