House H2

The house is located on an exceptional site in South Corsica.

A peninsula surrounded by a beach and a port that overlooks the sea. The project was conceived by the architects Vincent Coste and Bruno Fléchet in a logic of erasure in relation to the place.

The wind-lean endemic vegetation and the resurgence of existing granitic phalanges have been identified and localized thus serving as geometric anchors for the project.

The main house stretches and folds longitudinally according to the curvatures inflicted by the banks of the plot. Four distinct volumes are positioned on the sandstone of the frames and orientations specific to the sea. These pieces of dark granite cut in “flint” generate in between and configure a path linking each of the entities.
This interstice unfolds and forms the backbone of the project. Ensuring the entrance of the house, it serves as a place of ramp, terrace, loggia and beach according to its position.

This device allows crossing the landscape and manages views towards the sea. It creates intimate outdoor spaces, ideal for outdoor living out of sight.
