BAST, LITTORAL M37 house

This house is for a retired couple.
They are settling in a private housing development on the Atlantic coast.
The building’s location avoids cutting down trees in the Landes forest.
The land is preserved in its original state as undergrowth.
The compact design creates its own outdoor space within the built area.
This patio separates the main house, which is inhabited year-round, from a guest house for family and friends.
Two sliding gates made of reinforced glass provide privacy.
The house is built with a timber frame and post-and-beam structure on a polished concrete slab.
The roof is a membrane that meets the flat roof requirement of the development.
The anodized aluminum window frames open only onto the patio.
Sunlights allow natural light and ventilation into each section of the house.
This house stands apart from its housing development context to reconnect with the original forest.
