ALY House, a residential building designed by MORE Architecture in Bordeaux, features distinctive concrete facades that set it apart within the neighborhood. Completed in 2018, the house integrates concrete elements on both the interior floors and ceilings, creating a cohesive aesthetic. The linear ground floor layout includes interconnected spaces and multiple views while maintaining privacy. An extended patio, with a concealed swimming pool, functions as an additional room, particularly on sunny days. The kitchen area is distinguished by a lower ceiling, aligning with the location of the upstairs bedrooms. Children’s rooms are arranged around a central play area.
Inside a residential neighborhood of Bordeaux, the house stands out from the other constructions by its concrete facades. Concrete is also used inside the house, on the floors and ceilings.
The plan stretches on a thin parcel, generating interconnecting spaces and multiple views 360° around while preserving the family’s privacy. The ground floor was conceived as a linear open space, extended by a patio including a smart swimming pool out of sight from the neighborhood.
During sunny days, the patio is a real extra room that enlarges the living room. The kitchen space is delimited by the lowering of the ceiling, corresponding to the location of the bedrooms located upstairs. The children’s rooms are spread around a playroom.
