Nestled in the privacy of a hemlock forest, FAHOUSE presents an amazing building that seems to emerge from a children's story. Exploiting the contrasts between opacity and light, the architect Jean Verville develops a graphic assemblage, which rises like two giant conifers, intensifying the dreamlike aspect of this architectural proposal. Derived from the archetypal figure of the house, the double triangular prism perfectly illustrates childhood characterizing the whole development of this project.
Quote: Conceived for a couple of young
professionals andtwo children, the cottage revisits the family home settings to explore an imaginary closely linked to the site, its occupants and their actual way of living the family life.
