Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Villa Kget in Ensuès-la-Redonne, France by Bonte & MigozziMarch 11th, 2018 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Bonte & Migozzi Facing north south, with a triangular form, the land is of a small size (785m2), which is why the house plan is part of the administrative limits of the parcel’s removal. With its endemic plants – a vast majority of pines and agaves – , its low walls made of stones and its extraordinary mediterranean view, this protected place doesn’t have sanitation or possibilities of access for the construction site. Inhabited by mediterranean culture and grecque mythology, Christophe Migozzi revisits the primitive atmosphere of the cottage by reinterpreting a contemporary version of “Ulysse’s vessel that surfs on a slope like a crab trawler.”  Image Courtesy © Bonte & Migozzi

In order to completely stay away from hurting the land in any way by intrusive construction, they are reducing the levelling work to they only stilts, indispensable to the elevation of the habitat without hurting the natural land. The cut down trees are replaced with new varieties (fig trees, eucalyptus trees, viburnum, opuntia, phormium…) so as to densify the land’s natural limits.

The structure of the house is in laminated douglas wood whilst the cover is made of larch brackets vertically placed. Another way to reinvent the arbour and, with the help of the growing flora, to merge house and land together.

The interiors are covered by shinoki ash panels.
