He transformed the original farm buildings – cowshed, stables, hay loft and barn – into sleeping quarters, kitchen and a gym, among other rooms, and added a new freestanding wing to the late 19th -century house. This little annex is a refuge, a quiet place to escape to or a private domain for guests to inhabit. Throughout the project, the client demonstrated unwavering faith in the architect, giving him great latitude in designing the little fifty-square-meter cottage.

La Villette Sports Complex is built at the eastern entrance of Caudebec-Lès-Elbeuf in Normandy (France). The building houses the premises of two distinct sports associations: a Judo Club and an Athletic Power Club, which share Hall, Club House, Meeting Room, and various amenities, for a total of 2,340 square meters. A single pavilion houses the entire program without an obvious distinction of parts, nor a display of the interior layout. The absence of these signs benefits the sculptural expression of the volumes on the wooded grounds of the Park.
