Text description provided by the architects. The project is built in an area surrounded by public facilities in a residential suburban character near Paris. The proposed extension is built while maintaining the wooded character of the bottom plot. The neighboring houses are built in traditional forms with gabled roofs, thereby extending the crib comes with a gabled roof curved. To insert the building in an environmentally sound approach, structure, roofing and siding are made entirely of wood components. Although the structure is wood, the generally rounded shape of the building is "born" of the desire to represent "...a boa constrictor digesting an elephant ..." This analogy refers to the stories of the famous story "The Little Prince" by paying tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupery ... when he was a little boy.
