Text description provided by the architects. The project is located next to the main access road of an agricultural property and serves a dual purpose: to store vehicles and serve as a residence for the property's caretaker. This small building replaces an auxiliary structure on the estate that collapsed irreparably. The footprint, volume, and roof material (ceramic tiles) are characteristics inherited, by regulation, from the building it replaces.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The volume combines, under a single roof, two independent elements without internal communication, each at a different level: a garage, open to the north, and a residence, open to the south, which functions as a single-story home. Save this picture!Save this picture!Starting from a predetermined volume, the structure is optimized to create a garage with a large opening and no columns: the north facade of the upper level acts as a large beam, while the side facades stiffen its ends. This self-supporting shell is complemented by a lightweight wooden structure, supported by a large pillar that divides the light on the south facade and also houses the chimney.
