“Swimming pool included”: a “double U” designed ” with the aim of offering real privacy to its occupants »Thanks to a double patio and stretched volumes that screen neighboring buildings. The occupant benefits from fluid internal and external circulation and a glazed living room on all four sides. The kitchen is extended by an awning housing a dining table. The children’s rooms open onto a gallery opening onto the terrace and the swimming pool. The latter, the nerve center of the house, fits into a large wooden terrace, connecting all the volumes of the house. The suite, containing the entrance patio with opposite the workshop and garages, is isolated from the rest of the house. Awarded by the public at the Salon du Bois d’Angers and the Salon Résidence Bois 2007, “Swimming pool included” is a dream.
