Taking inspiration from Patrick Modiano’s novel “In the Café of Lost Youth” (Dans le café de la jeunesse perdue), we endeavor to craft a structure that acts as a repository for the proprietor’s bygone years—a repository for a youth that once wandered aimlessly.

In southern houses, especially in small plots of land, the yard mainly has only the role of capturing light and has lost its livability.
