Sous les ailes | KIDA
Maison bioclimatique à Barbizon Barbizon / France / 2024
Sous les ailes is a bioclimatic house nestled at the edge of the Fontainebleau forest, in the painters' village of Barbizon, just an hour from Paris.
A stone outbuilding occupies the northeast corner of this nearly 2000 m² plot, while two concrete extensions currently adjoin the building. To the south, the characteristic rocks of the Fontainebleau forest unfold under the shade of tall oak trees.
The owners dream of generously glazed spaces, in harmony with the surroundings, opening up to the surrounding nature. They desire spaces bathed in light, while remaining discreet and blending seamlessly into the calm and preserved environment around them. Their vision goes beyond aesthetics: they wish for an environmentally friendly house, self-sufficient in terms of energy and water, to create a sustainable living space in perfect symbiosis with its environment.
The two extensions are demolished, revealing and enhancing the stone of the original building. The height of the original building's gutter determines the height limit for the new constructions.
A first volume, built with a mixed structure of wood and hemp-lime blocks, houses the living areas. It stretches parallel to the northern boundary of the plot. The entrance, running alongside the stone of the existing house, opens directly onto the garden, while the structure remains discreet thanks to its transparency. This volume, generous in height, is divided into three sections by functional blocks, separating the entrance, the living room, and the kitchen/dining area.
On the south side, the facade is largely glazed and protected by a cantilevered roof designed to limit summer sunlight. On the north side, small openings create a sense of cross-views.
The volume dedicated to the sleeping areas is designed with essential simplicity. Built entirely of hemp-lime, it blends discreetly under the "wings" of the main volume, extending towards the rocks where it finds shelter. The master bedroom, intimate and soothing, is nestled in the undergrowth, offering a true haven of peace in harmony with the surrounding nature.
To the north, in the less prestigious part of the plot, the garage and workshop are located, away from the heart of the house but perfectly integrated into the landscape, forming a harmonious complement.
In the existing house, fully insulated with bio-sourced materials such as sprayed hempcrete for the walls and wood wool for the roof, there are a bathroom, a laundry room, and a guest room.
Two rainwater harvesting tanks and a treatment system ensure water self-sufficiency. The solar heating system, combined with a backup wood stove with a boiler, provides gentle thermal comfort in winter. Canadian wells and decentralized dual-flow ventilation ensure natural ventilation.

Sous les ailes est une maison bioclimatique nichée à la lisière de la forêt, dans le village des peintres, Barbizon, à une heure de Paris. Une dépendance en pierre occupe le nord-est de cette parcelle de près de 2000 m2, tandis que deux extensions en béton, aujourd’hui présentes, se juxtaposent à l’édifice. Au sud, les rochers caractéristiques de la forêt de Fontainebleau se déploient à l’ombre des grands chênes.
Les propriétaires imaginent des volumes généreusement vitrés, en harmonie avec le sol, qui ouvrent les espaces sur la nature environnante. Ils souhaitent des lieux baignés de lumière, tout en
restant discrets, s’intégrant harmonieusement dans
le cadre calme et préservé qui les entoure. Leur désir va au-delà de l’esthétique : ils souhaitent une maison respectueuse de l’environnement, autonome en termes de ressources, qu’il s’agisse d’énergie ou d’eau, afin de créer un lieu de vie durable et en parfaite symbiose avec son environnement.
Les deux extensions sont démolies, laissant apparaître la pierre du bâtiment d’origine et la mettant en valeur. La hauteur de la gouttière de ce bâtiment détermine la hauteur maximale des nouvelles constructions.
Un premier volume, en ossature bois et blocs de chaux-chanvre, accueille la zone jour. Il s’étire parallèlement à la limite nord de la parcelle. L’entrée, longeant la pierre de la maison existante, ouvre une perspective directe sur le jardin, tandis que la construction se fait discrète, presque transparente. Ce volume, généreux en hauteur, se découpe en trois par des blocs fonctionnels, séparant l’entrée, le salon, et la cuisine/salle à manger.
