"Text description provided by the architects. The project transforms a 19th-century farmhouse typical of the region, which brings together dwelling and agricultural functions beneath a single roof.

In this context, the client's mixed housing/permaculture program represents a rare opportunity for a coherent requalification of the whole."
An oversized 19th-century farmhouse combines dwelling and agricultural functions beneath a single roof, characteristic of the region. The building has lost its farming use and sits outside the building zone, which limits the permitted habitable floor area and makes the large volume difficult to maintain. The project proposes a mixed housing and permaculture program that adapts the existing volume for contemporary living while integrating productive landscape practices. The program aims to requalify the whole property coherently by reconciling zoning constraints with new uses, preserving the architectural volume while redefining spatial and functional relationships between living spaces and agriculture.
