OUR HOUSE | This is a rehabilitation and extension project of an old holiday’s house for my family. One important request was to compose with the existing building which overlooks a lake. The kitchen and the living room are located in the existing building. The living room is the interface between the open view on the lake and a closed garden behind the existing building. In the extension, three bedrooms and two bathrooms are disposed along a corridor. The house is porous and crossed by sights. With Sophie Lebreton. ( Anthy-sur-LÊman, FR )
MOUNTAIN PASTURE SATELLITE OF THE VILLAGE
VILLAGE NODE IN THE VALLEY
Vacheresse
SUMMITS
ASCENT IN ALPINE TERRITORY | VILLAGE - PASTURES - SUMMITS Vacheresse is a village which belongs to the valley of Abondance in Haute-Savoie. In this valley, there is a specific spatial pattern that comes from the agropastoralism for milk production. The village is a node in the valley and few mountain pastures gravitate towards it. Then, mountain pastures are the last inhabited space before summits. The pasture of Bise is one « satellite » of Vacheresse. A new dynamic could develop Vacheresse in a way from the village to the summit through the local economy (agropastoralism and tourism): the idea is instilling a pulse to consolidate and reconnect with strength the village and its satellites, its pastures.
Bise
Nominated project 5th Trophée Béton ‘17
Hikers are led to discover a stratification of scenery. Scenery is transforming itself slowly when they are climbing. Sampling the landscape was a way to analyse it along this ascent.
Bise
This economic dynamic was thought as a unique idea that takes place in the territory with two different projects: the first one in the village of Vacheresse and the second one in the mountain pasture of Bise where the agropastoralism is still an important practice. Two different sites and different projects linked by the development of the local economy.

In Vacheresse, the project is the creation of a cheese factory called Fruitière (the milk is considerated like the fruit of animals) to reinvent a public convergence in the village. The project turns around a public space where the factory and the cafeteria work together. Both are open for inhabitants and tourists to create a dynamic for the village. In order to reconnect Vacheresse and Bise, the factory will centralise milk production because pastures are used only during the summer. The factory is a cooperative for every farmer of the village to transform their production of milk in cheeses from laboratories to cellars. The factory is built on a simple principle: a pedestal and volumes which are floating above it. Cellars are dug in the ground to create good conditions to produce cheese. One volume is dedicated to the factory with the reception, the shop and laboratories. The other part of this project is to implant a cafeteria for inhabitants, pupils, elderly people. We could cook and eat together, with the products of the factory, to discover how to produce it and to learn some recipes with invited chefs. On the pedestal there is the public place where a weekly market could take place and the village could create events around a dedicated space.
In mountains in Haute-Savoie, buildings are often composed with two parts: a massonry pedestal and a wooden boxe over. The pedestal is built by a sequence of concrete’s walls stucked in the ground. They make a reference to walls that structured slopes in the village. Then, the factory’s volume is composed by a pre-fabricated concrete structure and a burnt wood cladding to remind the materiality of dark old barns.
THE SHELTER, ROOF N°17 | BISE
research with models
Mountains contain the pasture of Bise. It’s the end of the road and the beginning of some trails. Agropastoralism meets tourism here because flows of hikers, animals and shepherds cross each other every summer. The project in Bise is oriented on accomodation for shepherds and hikers: the shelter is recreated on itself and three units are designed for shepherds to stay close of their herds during the summer season. The old shelter was abandonned for 3 years. The project for the shelter keeps the masonry of the existing building like a pedestal with common spaces. A wooden box takes place inside and is dedicated to rooms and different kind of dorms for hikers. Inside, stairs design an ascent.

MONOGRAPHIC MUSEUM | A PRISM BETWEEN AN ARTIST AND A PLACE - SOULAGES MUSEUM The dialogue between the building and the topography questions the relationship with a place and an architecture. How can the territory interract with the space of art? The Pierre Soulages museum raises few questions: the art’s place in the city; the articulation between the museum and its territory; its boundaries and its limits... The monographic museum induces a relationship developped between the artist and the architect. How do they influence themselves ? From the studio to the place for the piece of art: the monographic museum would become a case setting out measures for the work of the artist, wouldn’t it?

SUBMARINE BASE | This project concerned the creation of a cultural pole in the submarine base in Bordeaux. How can we create inhabited spaces in a colossal second-world-war heritage? The competition was launched by the metropolis of Bordeaux. The concept is based on a islands’ typology in the submarine base and the design of a signal in the harbour basin to assert this new distrinct designed by Nicolas Michelin.

MUSIC’POLE | The Music’Pole is a pedagogical tool for music’s schools in Le Bassin d’Arcachon with a 300-seat concert hall, educational spaces and a rehaersal studio. The concert hall takes place in the main volume and the other spaces turn around it. The building is implanted, with a compact shape to give enough free space for an other building which will be located on the same site.

VILOGIA 90 | This competition for 90-unit housing was launched by Vilogia, a french social landlord. The project takes place in Bègles beside a park. This urban area is a part of the « Euratlantique » project to densify the city of Bordeaux. The program is divided in three entities: a passiv haus building and two parts with different funding to access to the property. The concept is the creation of an urban continuity and porisities along the main street. In fact, the three buildings draw a punctuation. A parking is located on the groundfloor like a slab with also shops and entrances. At the front, a principle of a «green thickness» is thought as modular grid for different balconies. Two different designed for competition.

CONSTRUCTION SITES | It is thought that construction sites aren’t a space for architectural conception. In fact, it’s the completely opposite. Working in a construction site is the best way to understand that the project is never finished. It’s the opportunity to see the architectural conception with a different point of view; to share with builder’s teams; to learn details and to explore the concept of materiality,... The narrative of my experiences.
