Located in the historic village of Charrot, this new private dwelling translates the village housing model into an emblematic minimalist language. Lying on the outer ring of the village, the geometry of the plan and its dimensions respect legal regulations and fit into an architectural setting characterised by large farms that have been transformed over the years. The initial commission for a two-family home thus appears as a single spacious village house, with a large central door defining the shared entrance of the two dwellings within. Sprawling in length and height, the building lies along a northwest path, leaving space for a garden courtyard to the southeast.
The plan is based on inverse symmetry: open common spaces are situated on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are upstairs, with two-storey ceilings evoking the neighbouring barns. A mezzanine level offers an additional room. Simple economic construction was used for a structure made of slabs of reinforced concrete, with an insulating terracotta brick envelope and a prefabricated timber roof.
