Article source: BLUEROOM BLUEROOM proudly presents the sketch design for an Off-Grid Villa in the south of France. The team researched the design potential for building a patio villa on a 1.000 m2 site, in a region in the south east of France. The Client requested a striking, contemporary design that blends into its natural context. A residence that can absorb changing needs in the future, such as extra children, in-living parents or in-living nurse. BLUEROOM welcomed this task as a balancing act between expressive and subtle design, to create a compact patio villa that facilitates both the interaction between its users, as well as the comfort of privacy when so desired.

The villa has a clear orthogonal floorplan that organizes strict separations between offices & guest quarters on the east side, living room & kitchen on the north side, and private spaces of family members on the west side of the patio. A swimming pool completes the patio on the south side, leaving a panoramic view towards the landscape for all spaces and terraces. The different areas are topped by cantilevering circular pergolas that are matched by circular terraces reaching out into the patio. The pergolas, decorated with dense bamboo, create a comfortable transition space between public and private, and provide shelter from the abundance of sunlight. The resulting composition creates from each vantage point a unique atmospheric perspective, adding depth and layers to the patio residence. The client is one of the founders of an innovative product design firm, with a profound interest in off-grid buildings, and responsible construction materials.

The natural pool with patio creeks creates a self-sustained, chemical free biotope for plant life. The evaporation of the creek and pool water will help the natural cooling down of the outdoor terraces and adjacent indoor spaces. Indoor temperature moderation is provided by floor heating and cooling. The construction will primarily consist of Pierres stones that are sourced locally, and of responsibly sourced wood for the load bearing structure, secondary walls and most of the window frames. The villa will boast innovative products such as 5-double glazing, and a new lighting system that uses 50% less energy than LED-lighting. Fit out will be made of circular products and bio-based materials. Upcoming works will be the research of the site for further maximization and integration of sustainable principles into an appealing architectural project.  Aerial View, Image Courtesy © BLUEROOM
