A few years later, the couple acquires the house’s
semi basement as well as an adjoining outbuilding. This time again, the main
walls are wide open in order to ease the passage of light and new
steel bays, as an echo to the first installation, substitute themselves to
masonry. The “cooking”, “meal” and “living room” functions can there from move
down to the entire ground floor. And there again, to guarantee the freest flow
between the spaces, every partition is removed. The little garden’s terrace,
layed out during the same building campaign is covered with large ipé blades
and the same wood, on the same level, is used for the entire semi basement in
order to insure a continuance in reading and feelings. The big wall standing
between the house and the now linked outbuilding is covered with a gouged mdf
wainscot because of recurring moisture that is impossible to resorb.”
