Granite House
Locmariaquer
This residential rehabilitation and extension is inspired by the principles of the traditions of massive construction in scottish architecture, unique to the existing manor. The extension consists then, of a sculpted «rock» in concrete, pierced on its fours sides to bring in light and to open a large view to the ocean. The interior, in wood, contrasts with the rigidity of the concrete and offers a diagonally oriented plan, open and generous. The exterior terrace is prolonged by a broad pool, off of which the new extension is reflected.
