Julien Hubert and Lætitia Alba restructure a Toulon fisherman's house around a skylight. The house, long and narrow, evokes the Japanese architecture which served as inspiration for the architects.
It has three levels, the last, lit by a dog-sitter, accommodates the children's bedroom and their bathroom. The old 1900 glass roof was replaced by a contemporary glass roof. The kitchen worktops were made to measure in polished concrete, and the cupboard doors are in larch, a wood found throughout the house. The staircase illustrates their approach to ventilating the volumes. It is made of a folded metal blade and a sleek railing. The bedroom opens onto this terrace which allows you to admire the sea in the distance, beyond the tops of the trees and the roofs of the houses. After the courtyard, you no longer know whether you are inside or outside, as soon as the weather is nice, you now enter directly through the courtyard.
