The house is located in Fully on the edge of vineyards at the foot of the Chavalard, the village's landmark mountain. The main constraint on the plot was the presence of an adjacent house. Despite their proximity, it was vital that the two residences should not interfere with one another. Moreover, the privacy of each had to be preserved. To address these requirements, the house is positioned on the boundary of its plot and articulates around a semi-open inner courtyard. The latter facilitates visual communication across the various rooms of the house without impinging on those of the neighbour. Although the house is essentially oriented on itself, it also benefits from two large north-facing windows in the lounge and the bedroom offering views of the Chavalard.

This family home is on two levels: the ground floor comprises the daytime accommodation, while the night-time accommodation is on the first floor. The home's interior has been designed to enable the art-lover owners to display their collection: not only are the walls white, with lighting arranged accordingly, but the courtyard provides natural, indirect illumination that avoids damage to the artworks. 

The exterior facades are clad in gold-coloured corrugated sheeting, inspired by the softness of the autumn light radiating from the surrounding vineyards. The homogeneous cladding of the house acts like a skin, providing a protective shell for the private life within.
