rue de la Ferme, Boulogne Billancourt, France
Wrapped around a Mediterranean-style garden in Southwest Boulogne Billancourt (a plush Paris Western suburb), lot D buildings make up the EE plot major hinge with the districts to the West.
- The building opens up in the ground's depth except for a pavilion, edifice-object laying down at the EE lot Southern tip. Such architecture allows a particular reading of a building becoming a plot exception.
- Bordering the street, the edifice's wish is to clearly make a difference with the immediate surroundings. It is closely united to the East and the lot's heart. It offers a wide open reading toward the inner garden. The dialog intimately intermingles inner and outer spaces.
- On the other side, the street facade offers a very "adjusted" urban reading. Cornice moldings proportions, base, building structure and crowning are paced by a vertical alignment and liven up the street. On the courtyard side, the building frees itself, it becomes more plastic and takes in a large inner green space, a cocoon punctuated by private little gardens at the bottom of the facade.
