Located on a dead-end street close to the town center in a residential area, this house stands on a 200m² plot of land bordered by two neighboring blind walls on the east and south. On the north and west sides, the plot is oriented towards the main facades of neighboring houses featuring balconies. In this context, the challenge was to create a spacious and functional living place protected from direct sights. The introversion of the house was essential to preserve intimacy without sacrificing the desired clean design while generating open and fluid spaces.

Since the west and north walls overlook the street and neighboring buildings respectively, these walls feature a limited number of narrow openings. They form a barrier that protects the house from exterior indiscreet viewers. In contrast, interior facades enjoy much larger openings and a higher level of transparency thanks to wide bay windows located on the ground and second floor, opening a way for a variety of views and more sunlight.

Space distribution follows this introversion in a way that allows main living spaces to enjoy the view on garden patios, while secondary servant spaces (bathrooms, toilets, back kitchen, dressings…) are slightly open on the dead-end via narrow or high windows.
