VIVRE SA VILLE

De la création de produits originaux aux nouvelles technologies de l’information et la communication, les entreprises azuréennes sont un véritable atout de la région. Economie, banque, immobilier, urbanisme, architecture… cette rubrique se place au plus près des initiatives et transformations de nos villes. Ici, le concours ArchiCOTE vient également tous les ans récompenser les projets d’architectes les plus engagés et inscrits dans leur territoire.

Built in the upper part of its plot for the best view, this single-storey house takes the form of a simple rectangle. Its four corners house the "personal spaces", with the living areas in between them and open to the four points of the compass: entrance to the west, window to the east, kitchen to the north, living room with terrace to the south. The personal spaces correspond to the specification for three bedrooms and a studio but in a novel way, since instead of creating three bedrooms, two for occasional use only, the architect has designed two rooms for the inhabitants' specific use – meditation room and office/library – but able to become spare bedrooms if needed. Each corner of the building also has its own micro-garden, connecting with the main one and increasing in size as you move anticlockwise from studio to meditation room.
