This pavilion-house is an exercise in agreement between a soft topography and a living space.A patch of that runs throughout the plot from the lowest point to the top.

A loop. Curved shapes to circumvent the trees and the swimming-pool of a grove-garden carefuly looked after for many years.

The interior is organized by a threaded wall that relates the spaces and builds a circular space.

An entirely concrete construction: floor, walls, ceiling,… only the glass makes it a “bubble” and some steel tubes run weightlessly throughout and lend support for objets, books,pictures,clothes,…

The rest will be up to the couple that live in the house and their guests.

    Must be frustrating to come up with a manifesto like this one and then get screwed with that floor material.

    i dig concrete as much as the next brutalist, but this project is obscene in the amount of embodied energy wasted and overall cost creating such a small, poorly planned and finished living space.
    this one would have looked a lot cooler on paper…
