Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in the eastern foothills of the Vercors plateau, in the Trièves nature reserve, a few kilometres from the centre of Gresse-en-Vercors. The immediate surroundings are made up of isolated detached dwellings. The initial order, for a 50 m² extension to an existing mountain house, was rethought to create an independent volume, linked to the house by a horizontal base, acting as a link between the two entities. More than just a passageway, this space creates a real living space for fine weather and a belvedere offering uninterrupted views of Mont Aiguille in the distance, as well as the jagged rocks formed by the 'Dolomites du Trièves' just above.
