Breuillot’s House in Buillon, France by Bernard Quirot & Olivier Vichard

Settled in a humble village 10 kilometers south of Besançon, the region Franche Comté''s main town, this house was built far from the center of the village, up on the hill which dominates the river Loue and treats of a clear and wide view. It was made for a single grandma’ who takes care of her daughter’s children every day.

Bernard Quirot and Olivier Vichard have designed a contemporary mix between traditional ways of building houses (raw stone, wood for structure and ornemantation) and modern style (raw concrete, large windows, voluminous white spaces).
