Contemporary architecture, this house of 116 m2 of living space blends into the landscape of its 585 m2 plot, 350 meters from the beach, in the municipality of St-Trojan-Les-bains, on the southern tip of the island of Oléron.

Built in 2010, the house reinterprets the architectural codes of seaside fishermen's huts. Like a carrelet (a type of fishing hut), a walkway leads from the street to the living area. Alternating vertical and horizontal boards, the cladding of this level takes on the traditional blue-gray color. On either side of the walkway, openings in narrow and varied shapes animate a sober facade. The opposite side, on the other hand, features large bay windows that allow light and views of the canopy to enter. The 'hut' is extended by a spacious platform/pontoon on stilts. Surrounded by a cable guardrail, its complex shape hugs the trees and the boundaries of the plot. Its double level enhances the feeling of a nest protected by the branches of the trees, a sensation that is also found inside the house. The color of the exterior cladding is echoed in the exposed framework that covers the volumes of the 42 m2 living room. Beams, posts, rafters, and braces thus stand out against the immaculate white walls and ceilings, as does the sculptural contemporary chimney suspended between two bay windows, cleverly disguised from the outside. Through-and-through, the room is largely open through its bays onto the terrace that doubles its surface. The kitchen area with its generous island is delineated by a break in the sloping ceiling forming a horizontal step. Optimizing the use of space, two sleeping areas, unified by their sea rush flooring, are distributed on either side of the living room. On one side, a true suite with a bathroom, dressing room, and access to the terrace. On the other, two perfectly symmetrical bedrooms with their private shower room. Each is illuminated by its French door and its original strip window. All openings in the house frame the vegetation. The layout allowed for the preservation of majestic pines that reach for the sky. Running along the exterior chimney, the terrace staircase provides access to the garden and a 4th completely independent bedroom with its own bathroom. A spacious porch, a reasonably-sized enclosed storage space, and a double shelter for a boat or vehicle complete the practical aspects of the house at this level.

A house with an original design for a holiday spirit all year round.
