Chantre is a house characterized by the paths fluidity and the harmonious and symbiotic relationships between the building and the garden, presenting various possible appropriations of the house in relation to the land. The street finishes in the house in an apotheotic way, which is reinforced by a monumental entrance with a modern approach. Strongly geometric, the volumes are articulated from the entrance cylinder, as if it were a patella. Through a dance between shapes, lines, alignment and walls, the house perfectly articulates old and modern elements, in a poetry of references.
