This sunroof replaces a dilapidated veranda which completed this beautifully crafted holiday home. “This roof appeared following a reflection on the situation of the property, located on the bay of La Baule. With the client, we wanted to offer an extension to this house located by the sea“, explains the architect Benjamin Avignon who designed this sliding roof in 2020, for a sum of around 200,000 euros. The retractable roof that undresses the house gives the impression of constantly living outside. “It is the realized fantasy of an interior and an exterior which form a whole at the same time.s”, adds Benjamin Avignon.
No more boundary between home and nature
This customization accessory makes it possible to apprehend the space in a completely different way, as if there were no longer any limit between the house and nature. As soon as the roof opens, light enters the kitchen, illuminating the room. The kitchen thus fulfills a double function: winter kitchen when the roof is closed and summer kitchen when it opens. The house allows you to lock yourself in your cocoon, in complete privacy, when the roof is closed or to live in complete transparency when it is withdrawn. The roof thus acts as acap», very modular, and allows you not to evolve in a static space, constantly closed but in a place open to the outside, in a real communion with the sea.
Stretching 7 meters in length, the roof leads to a back door which leads to a master bedroom resembling a maisonette with its gable roof. Outside, a removable wooden deck covers a staircase that provides direct access to the beach. Vacationers use the outdoor shower with a sandblasted glass door when returning from the beach.
