Nestled at the edge of a vast, misty field, this contemporary country house opens to the dawning day like an inhabited landscape. Black steel, weathered wood, and natural stone create an architecture that is both rustic and refined, rooted in the land. Behind it, the pasture stretches as far as the eye can see, paying homage to the tranquil beauty of the place.

Three separate volumes, linked by delicate glass walkways, compose a fragmented silhouette that evokes the farms of yesteryear, while embracing a resolutely modern materiality.

On the front, a long swimming pool reflects the changing sky, while a skylight pierces the roof to invite light into the heart of the house.

The glass walkway acts as a breath of fresh air between the volumes. It frames the landscape, allowing it to permeate the circulation space, and transforms each movement into a moment of contemplation. Between inside and outside, the house opens up, silent, in harmony with the rhythm of the pasture.

A project that combines silence, landscape and architecture.
