New construction of a single-family home

Located in a residential neighbourhood in Bordeaux, this home was designed around a central patio that keeps the interiors out of view from the immediately surrounding properties. A key part of the programme together with its pool, the patio extends the eat-in kitchen and spacious living room in good weather. It also provides the master suite located in the back end of the house with much-need privacy.  The presence of water and greenery help avoid a heat island effect. Lastly, the partial floor that hosts the bedrooms and an office space asserts the volume’s presence in its immediate surroundings while conforming to the surrounding building heights.
