The project takes its origin when two couples of friends bought two semi-detached plots and tossed them up. Their will to build two twin houses that match together give a particular feature to the project.
 

\

The two houses are made of interlinked volumes which allow each of them not to have direct views on the other but to take advantage of a detached house in town.
 

\

On the street side oriented north, the house is established 5 meters back from the street. The 1st floor-room is built in an awkward position that creates a canopy sheltered from rain ans gives to the room natural light from the western window.
 

\

The houses are planned around a cross, transparent place which has a vocation to distribute the different functions of the house : stairs, the transparent corridor on the 1st floor, the patio which enlightens the bathroom and offers a view towards the sky.

The way the two families took possession of the places, the living spaces and their gardens make everybody feel like living in a single house while in a semidetached!
