Site Planning and Architectural Design
The layout of the house has been carefully designed to make the most of the site’s orientation and surroundings.
The main living areas are primarily oriented towards the south and west to maximise natural daylight and views. The bedrooms benefit from east and west orientations, while the kitchen faces east, enjoying the morning sun.
The design creates a sense of privacy along the access road while opening the house towards the south-western landscape. The upper floor has been deliberately kept compact in order to minimise its visual impact.
A small ancillary building (12 m²) is positioned along the northern boundary. With a height of less than 4 metres, it provides practical storage, particularly for equestrian equipment in connection with the neighbouring riding centre.

We guide you from the very first ideas, transforming your vision into a coherent, sustainable and bespoke architectural project.
Let's talk about your projectExplore our projects.
Where do you work?
We primarily work throughout the Greater Paris region (Île-de-France) and the surrounding departments. For exceptional timber-structure projects, we also undertake commissions across France and throughout Europe, depending on the scale and ambition of the project.
How do I get started on a project with you?
Every project is unique. We take the time to understand your aspirations before developing a bespoke architectural solution. From there, we support you with the same level of commitment throughout every stage of the project, from the initial concept to final completion, working closely with our trusted partners—including engineering consultants, cost consultants, landscape architects, project managers and contractors—to ensure the quality and consistency of every project.
What are your typical response times?
We aim to respond to all email enquiries as quickly as possible, typically within a few business days. If your project requires an initial assessment or a more in-depth discussion, we will promptly arrange a phone consultation to discuss your project in the best possible conditions.
