The elevation of the land and the neighboring land runs a great risk of flooding.This has resulted in the need to raise the construction and establish a relationship between the inside and the outside guaranteeing on the one hand a continuity of uses, and the other secures a housing character construction.

Conceptually, we tried to develop the idea of a volume that resulted from the addition of several independent casings.
Each of these enclosures (living space) was treated individually, according to their characteristics and needs, particularly as concerns the orientation, openings and proportions.
