Common house of the Ecoravie participatory housing
Creation of a common house of around 165 m² with a 100 m² multi-purpose hall, for the Ecoravie cooperative SAS. Assignment in progress.

01 — The brief
Client: the Ecoravie cooperative SAS, a group of residents. The brief brings together a 100 m² multi-purpose hall and the common spaces of the participatory housing (cohousing).
02 — The response
The design followed the pace of the collective, then accelerated when the building permit (permis de construire) application had to be submitted earlier than planned.
03 — In short
Full architectural service in collaboration with a building designer (maître d’œuvre) for site supervision. The images shown are design-study views.
« Enfin un architecte à l’écoute de l'"expérience" que son maître d’ouvrage souhaite vivre au travers de son projet architectural! Camille a fait preuve d’une disponibilité "ajustée" pour respecter le rythme du collectif, d’une profonde capacité à écouter et à sentir et d’une disponibilité "démesurée" quand la situation s’est accélérée et que nous devions déposer le permis de construire plus tôt que prévu, gratitude, un grand merci et bravo! »
— Dominique Giral, cofondateur d’Ecoravie (Dieulefit)
