THE BERTRAND WOODS prOject Led by LéO cany

This project, under the direction of Léo Cany, is located in the countryside of La Chapelle du Bois, in the Perche Sarthois region.

My task was to create plans of the existing house as faithfully as possible. Given the very poor condition of the building, I had to pay special attention to accurately depicting cracks, the roof, and other construction issues.

This process then allowed us to brainstorm project ideas to transform this house into a welcoming space by combining the traditional Perche architecture with a contemporary approach to complement the damaged walls.

Transformations

The project preserves the central part, which is the best-preserved, and complements it with two wings to house the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, providing them with natural light. The central section becomes the coziest space, retaining the original plaster and paving.
