Coming in from the street, the visitor walks into the semi-private alleyway of the Villa de l’Adour, catching a glance of the façade. The combination of the white coating and the easily made-out metal framework, gives it a rough, mineral look.

Unexpectedly, the visitor comes onto the patio, a miniature garden, wrapped by a white brick wall which gives it a feeling of privacy. Crossing it lengthwise, he reaches the workshop at the back of which is a staircase. A flawless strip of rough concrete that leads to the first floor.

The rhythmic, stretched and syncopated pace is a consequence of the spiralling layout of the building.
