Light as a material

Clients rarely ask for light. They ask for space, storage and views. Yet light is what they notice first when they walk in.

On every site we record the sun through a full day and, when we can, through the seasons. Kitchens face the morning. Living rooms catch the late afternoon. Bedrooms stay cool.

At Maison Calcaire, a single slot in the roof lights the stair from top to bottom. It changed the plan around it, and it became the room the owners talk about most.
