Located in Lit-et-Mixe, France, Maud Caubet's latest project is a house extension that harmoniously integrates modern architecture with its forested environment. The design, part of a larger vision initiated in 2018, includes a unique H-shaped layout featuring a raw concrete staircase leading to a terrace that offers stunning ocean views. Constructed on stilts to preserve the natural terrain, the house uses local materials and incorporates sustainable practices, such as minimal site disturbance and a green roof, ensuring it complements the existing landscape while allowing future expansions.
The design reflects a commitment to harmony with nature, utilizing local materials and embracing the site's existing character to create a seamless integration with the forest.
Elevating above the ground, the house aligns with the verticality of pine trees, contrasting elegantly with the surrounding forest, while preserving the ground for natural use.
The H-shaped layout and raw concrete staircase lead to a panoramic terrace, showcasing an adept blend of contemporary architecture with the natural landscape.
Embracing off-site prefabrication techniques, local craftsmanship allowed for minimal disruption to the site while maintaining the architectural vision of sustainability.
