Architecture Design of House M

Description About The Project

House M designed by Taillandier Architectes Associés is a stunning home for a single family, located in the heart of central Toulouse, France. In this project, the chartreuse maintained and an extension built to accommodate the living area and the parental suite. So as to create a comfortable family house large enough for a family of four.

For this house, an annex contains the pool house and a guesthouse complete the brief. Also, the extension to the initial chartreuse positioned on the Southern flank of the existing construction so as to preserve the characteristic detailing of the facade. In addition to this, the overhang of the terraced roof reinforces the horizontal expression of the project. And draws a defining horizontal line sliding in underneath the brick detailing of the existing facade. Whilst also reducing the perceived depth of the roof structure. Underneath the roof forming a slim concrete awning. Besides, the extension composed of full – height glass facade. Hence, create total transparency between the living areas and the gardens on either side.

On the other hand, the outhouse positioned at the front of the plot, within the vertical plane defined by neighboring construction. It includes a guest suite, a storage room for bicycles, and a poolhouse. The outhouse designed in coherence with the extension to the main house, in prefabricated concrete opened by large windows onto the garden. In addition to this, on the Western façade, the openings of the technical areas and the doghouse composed of expanded metal panels.

Text by the Architects: The House M project is the construction of a single-family house in the residential Minimes neighborhood, in the heart of central Toulouse (Occitanie region, France). The houses of the neighborhood are generally set in deep plots and often have a small secondary house at the end of the garden called a “chartreuse”, as is the case for this house.
