Text description provided by the architects. Introduction - « Erwan Bouroullec asked the LVA architectural studio, founded by Guillaume Le Dévéhat and Charlotte Vuarnesson, to carry out his project to rehabilitate an old farm in Burgundy (France). A long and meticulous project under the sign of benevolence, respect and collective intelligence, to respect the existing, enhance the traces of the past, and ancestral gestures and give this place a character that is both versatile and long-lasting. All the while, integrating the site into its natural surroundings as seamlessly as possible. From this emerges a landscaped house on a gentle slope with an almost 360-degree view of the surrounding valleys and forests: a new generation of peasant architecture of pure, radical beauty, as humble in its language as it is efficient in its environmental qualities. A place capable of evolving into multiple scenarios - for gathering, creating, resting, contemplating... - a resilient place also capable of withstanding time. » Marion Vignal. A home anchored in the landscape, the story of a construction site told through fifteen verbs of the act of building. Understanding the layers of the building, and its memories, and bringing it to a new life without erasing its history. Composing with what's already there, without distorting it but transforming it.
