The article outlines an architectural project initiated by a mother of two who desired to renovate a large seaside home without expanding it. Situated in the gentrified town of Seignosse, the project seeks to restore the building's quality by enhancing both its physical and emotional comfort, thereby addressing chaotic elements from various eras. The architects opted for thoughtful modifications, prioritizing ethical renovation over economic pressures to create a unified living space that caters to the needs of the family while maintaining connection to nature and urban conveniences.
The project exemplifies how ethical choices can drive home transformation, prioritizing quality restoration over mere expansion amid rising real estate pressures in gentrifying areas.
