This 3 houses project fixes into a mixed-used context (1970’s collective housing, factories, warehouses and single family houses). That’s why we have chosen to offer a double typology: a low and unitary side along the street facing a factory, a divided profile on the other side, near the existing single-family units.

The three houses are covered by an undivided roof emphasizing the double language: a big section on the street and three distinct gable walls at the houses back.
This geometrical conversion comes with the roof and walls design: fibre-cement slates against wooden cladding.
