Research notes
Separate timber volumes establish a family house as a sequence of rooms within a pine forest.
A house arranged with the trees
Nicolas Dahan's villa at Soulac-sur-Mer is organized through several rectilinear volumes containing living, dining and sleeping spaces. Broad glazing maintains views between the rooms and the surrounding pine woodland. The landscape is part of the arrangement of the house, rather than only a distant backdrop.
Following the edges between volumes
Look at how solid timber surfaces and glazed openings alternate along the route through the rooms. Differences in enclosure help distinguish private and shared spaces while retaining a consistent view of the site. The original publisher provides the project account; an exact completion year is not established in the reviewed material.
