Located within a suburban development in the Oise region, the project occupies a narrow, wooded plot oriented along an east–west axis.

Designed for a family of four, the house responds to the clients’ desire to provide every room with the longest possible views across the site. To achieve this, the building is divided into three distinct volumes that are slightly offset from one another. This arrangement allows all living spaces to benefit from views extending along the full length of the plot while reinforcing the east–west orientation.

The main living areas enjoy triple orientation, opening to the east, south and west. The fragmentation of the house into three volumes also creates a subtle hierarchy of spaces, providing separation without the need for partitions.

The entrance is located within the central volume, which accommodates a study, kitchen and dining room on the ground floor. The dining area opens directly onto the western volume, entirely dedicated to the living room. The upper floor contains three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The eastern volume houses the parents’ suite, complete with an en-suite shower room, as well as a TV lounge that can also serve as a guest bedroom with its own shower room.

A basement containing a two-car garage and a workshop completes the house.

The house was conceived as a near-passive building, with extremely low estimated annual heating costs.

Bio-based materials were used throughout the construction. The structure is timber-framed, insulated with straw, clad externally in timber, and finished internally with earth plaster. Only the foundations and basement structure are constructed in concrete.

The density of trees on the site required the removal of a limited number of specimens to allow construction. The timber generated by this process informed the heating strategy, leading to the installation of a log-fired biomass boiler. A programme of new tree planting is currently underway.

Rainwater harvesting is used both for garden irrigation and to supply the home's three toilets, further reducing the building’s environmental footprint.
