The "Twin Houses" foresaw the construction of two side-by-side Villas, developed in 2 floors above ground level and an annex located on the side of the main building. This project also includes generous areas for green spaces, outdoor living areas and a swimming pool. PACHECOSANTOS | Arquitectos It is a project with a high level of rigor, also due to the challenge we set ourselves: to present two houses that, in a first analysis would be the same, but somehow, also acquire distinct personalities, even if through small details. PACHECOSANTOS | Arquitectos We tried, with the choice of materials (light tones and wood), spatial organization and an apparent simple volumetry to generate a game between light and shadow, that associated...

The city of Bulle and the Mobilière have carried out a parallel study mandate for the development of the Toula site, the last unbuilt site bordering the old town. It is qualified by its location at the crossroads between the old town, the new railway station of Bulle and the commercial zone to the north. The project was selected for its urban approach, its relationship to the landscape environment of the region and its integration into the built environment. Hiris Images The "A la Croisée des Chemins" project is integrated in a complementarity between the lively street of the city center which animates the district and the more intimate spaces of an inhabited district.

The proposal is designed to adapt to the surrounding context in a precise, simple and respectful way to the existing topography. Situated between a natural and an urbanised landscape, the shape closes to the north, extending the alignments of the surrounding buildings and protecting the housing block from the noise coming from the limits of the road. On the contrary, it opens to the south to approach the scale of the central park, allowing its extension within space, reducing the impact of the urban density planned for the site. The volume is distributed to generate attractive collective spaces based on three spatial concepts that correspond respectively to three different scales: a central patio for students; several garden terraces on a...
