The project takes into account the notions of flexibility, of environmental awareness, of simplicity of use, of functionality, of coherence that enable the programmatic entities to be linked together around exterior spaces that are re-dimensioned and re-planned.

The scale of the place was found thanks to the location of buildings with appropriated dimension. The care of spaces is thought as for an urban entity, like a microcosm offering a diversity of landscapes. The new buildings take place in the heart of the gardens: gardens with plants for the boarding school, but also “urban garden” and mineral one for the teaching places. The ambition of this project is to offer a coherence set in a specific environment.

Even if the building might be interesting, it’s a real pity that it has NOTHING to do with the amazing architectonic context of this beautiful village…HOw can one use all that timber in this precise area?
I dont see your point. In fact, the village seems to be engulfed with trees and nature. Why narrow the materials to stone?
Not bad. It’s nice it was realized with all the wood as designed – usually they don’t get the money and start looking for substitutes which looks awful in the end.. : /
Not bad at all. Really nice even.. good job!
The plan is probably the thing that is the least developed but it is still just enought in order for it to be really pleasing for the eye..
Good Job!
What program do they use to do those plans? I mean the ones with shadows etc?
autocad & photoshop. No more, no less.
and btw, they are both architecture teachers.
so warm.
great job.
