01 — The brief
The Lou Rey eco-community is located in the Cévennes. The brief brings together an 80 m² dojo, the rehabilitation of two dwellings and the creation of a large workshop.
02 — The response
Three on-site stays in the nomadic architect format, some ten days in residence in total, made it possible to clarify the brief, refine the overall project and identify the priorities.
03 — In short
A building permit application has been submitted.
« Camille a passé plusieurs jours dans notre écolieu à Lou Rey. Cette immersion humaine parmi nous lui a permis de voir très vite les besoins fondamentaux des membres du collectif, de comprendre l’articulation du projet à plusieurs échelles de temps, et à envisager de multiples possibilités de construction en conséquence. Sa gestion technique de ses logiciels de visualisation, sa facilité à répondre aux différents corps administratifs, à envisager les budgets et sa vision mêlant le rêve au cartésien ont fait de sa mission un moment clé (de clarté!) de notre évolution et des moments forts agréables... Au plaisir de te retrouver pour de nouveaux projets Camille ! »
— Xavier Ferdinand Guyard, fondateur de l’écohameau Lou Rey (parc national des Cévennes)
