How to give the scenic view without being seen?

A long slow ramp sculptured in the stone ending to a 240m2 oyster bar following the cliff lines

Architectural volumes integrates perfectly the mineral aspect of the surroundings in its vegetal setting and opens generously from the deck to a large scenic view: the stream of Berder Island in Le Golfe du Morbihan (similar to Bay of Islands)

Stone basement alterned with vegetal areas create the ramp, the concrete walls retain the backfill, large glazed sliding walls face the wood decking, and a green roof is the continuum of the garden

Mathilde Yence. The architect’s first material is your dreams, then comes reality. From dreams to reality and from reality to dreams, there is a thread between the two... Playing with the tension of this thread is what makes spaces come alive! Because we cross through spaces from one to another, we physically experience sequences. Spaces are made of sequences, they are never isolated. The context of the project’s surroundings goes into the design. So the way I identify the context becomes part of my project. That’s how I begin a design, by trying to make it simple, efficient and bright. Architects and designers play a role in transforming the global economy from a linear to a circular model. Our designs should support a system which generates no waste or pollution, it should support spaces in the making, evolving environments. Because we create so many buildings, we need to insist on materials that can be reused or converted again and again, developing by themselves. We need to promote passive houses and energy-plus buildings, we need to use raw earth, green roofs, biosourced materials, natural light… all of this means circularity rather than linearity.
