Renovation and extension of a house
Located in Quiberon, in the south of Brittany, the project is the
transformation of a holiday home into a main residence.
The old construction, a typical downtown house of Quiberon,
developed few relationships with the outside. Like most of the domestic
introverted architectural heritage of Morbihan.
The main quality of the plot and the existing therefore did not reside
only in its architecture itself, but in its well-oriented garden with large
trees and beautiful light.
Also, the project takes shape in the reversal of the architecture by
simply setting the living space in the middle of the garden and
changing a home settled along the street towards a project surrounded
by the landscape.
The existing house is used only for the bedrooms, taking advantage of
the freshness of the existing stone masonry. The living space, kitchen/
dining room and living room extends into the garden, taking advantage
of a completely glazed situation open to it. The architecture thus looks
like of a large roof which protects this living space by using local
material and the artisanal knowledge associated with it.
