Project of transformation of an old barn in the heart of the village of Thairy. The project divides an old farmhouse into three dwellings. The head of the building on the street side is composed of two crossed duplexes. The first occupying the ground and first floor, and the second the first floor and the attic. The floor divided in two accommodates the night spaces so as to limit the disturbances by grouping the uses.
The accommodation on the courtyard side is developed on three levels around a very open staircase. The volumes are deployed in a cross around this centrality. They interact with the intersecting floor voids that allow light to diffuse inside. The gable facade on the courtyard side is very open to serve the deep volumes which would otherwise remain obscure due to the fact of a blind face without the floor voids.
