Single-family house, with low-energy consumption and wood-frame located in Thy Le Baudouin (Florennes).

Given the sun’s course at the back of the lot and the landscape forming a slope, the project proposes a different concept of traditional housing. The entrance to the house is made by a semi-buried level in contact with the road (entrance / cloak room / cellar / car-port for one car / bicycle storage and garden) and the living areas are located on the first floor (living room / back kitchen / dog area / games for children). Upstairs, (sleeping areas / dressing rooms / bathrooms) allows access to the back of the garden by a slightly sloping footbridge. It allows the children to access directly at the field level. The two lavatories are accessible from each landing of the staircase.
