”J’ai gardé le silence d’un ancien paysage” is conceived as a quiet architectural mediation between built form and the latent memory of a verdant site. The project is articulated as a stratified volume whose horizontal slabs extend outward to form deep terraces, blurring the threshold between interior habitation and exterior landscape. These planes are softened by dense, curated vegetation that inhabits balconies and recesses, allowing the building to appear as an inhabited garden rather than a static object.

Vertical white fins wrap the façades with a rhythmic, almost topographic cadence. Their varying heights modulate light, provide solar protection, and establish a sense of privacy while maintaining visual permeability. This porous envelope produces a subtle play of shadow throughout the day, reinforcing the project’s atmospheric restraint. Behind this screen, generous glazing opens living spaces toward the surrounding greenery, fostering continuity between domestic life and nature.

Materially restrained and tonally light, the architecture recedes into its context rather than dominating it. The building stands as a contemporary palimpsest, where structure, vegetation, and light coexist in equilibrium. In preserving silence and restraint, the project honors the memory of an earlier landscape while offering a calm, inhabited future.
