Architecture
Building freely
« What Christophe tells us is that, today’s architecture
has a main problem, a problem of fondations, a
problem
with
its
goals
and
its
own
production.
Its goals, because one can realize that architecture has
forgotten that it should take care of the very poor first, because
their living conditions are intolerable. Especially because we
obviously have the technical means to solve this question
Its production, because one can understand that the constraints of
legislation, reglementation, pretentiousness, good taste, harmony
that we want to preserve or reach – all the walls that lock architecture
– are unbearable. Simply because they chain up life itself. How could
it be possible that we have so much resources and still we are not
able to solve housing problems ? How can we accept that some men
and women still don’t have places to sleep and live in ? Why did’nt
we continue what we started during the years following the war, that
is to say, building almost one million of housing units every year ?
How comes the fact that we have so much knowledge and
ressources, and still we are blocked by a past that we artificialize,
idolize, perfect, and caricature ? How could we loose the faith in
future and how did we become blind regarding all the contributions
given by modernity ? How could we let ourself being prisoner of so
much rules, grils and constraints while we have so much power ?
It is incredible (and depressing), that the walls which trap
architecture are higher and thicker here than over there, is’nt it ? It
is incredible (and stimulating) that one has to go into the slums to
find the reasons to hope and to fight in order to change the today’s
world, is’nt it ? It is incredible (and exciting) that one has to go so
far to remember that we can perceive the world in a more sensitive
and efficent way by looking carefully to particular lives, isn’t it ? »

Transformation OF THREE BUILDINGS (530 dwellings)
Bordeaux, France
2012, competition, prize winner,
Under construction
Architects : Christophe Hutin,
Lacaton & Vassal, Frederic Druot
Client : Aquitanis
Area : 68 000 m2
Cost : 28 990 000 € excluding VAT
The buildings G,H and I of the «Grand Parc» offer the
capacity to be transformed and to offer very beautiful
housing among which the qualities and the comfort
will be redefined in the long term.
While the projects of high-rise buildings for high status residences are defined as models of a responsible
housing for the future, the G, H and I buildings offer
the opportunity to reach these qualities right away, in
a generous, economic and sustainable manner.
The project proposes new qualities of spaces by
addition of privative outer spaces and optimizes the
dimensions, the light, the views and the comfort of
apartments, without modifying the existing structural
organization.
These extensions enlarge the space of using and
evolution of the housing and offer the possibility, as
in a house, to live outside while being at home.
REHABILITATION OF THE GrAND PArC POLYVALENT THEATEr
Bordeaux, France
2013, project in progress
Architects :
Christophe Hutin,
Lacaton & Vassal,

Client :
Municipality of Bordeaux
Area : 2300 m2
Cost : 4 400 000 € (excluding VAT)
The important is to re-open
this exceptionnal place, deserted for 25 years, but which
still lives in the inhabitants’
memory.
The architecture and the
interior organisation of the
place are unique and will be
conservated.
The activities will be social, cultural and artistical.
The project showcases the
qualities of the different spaces, and increase the livel of
competence and performance.
Our purpose is to create a
place of expression and popular education for each inhabitant. The polyvalent theatre
will allow for social , cultural
and generational mixing.
The place will receive international, national and local productions. Local associations
will work in very good conditions.
This project is important for
the life and the history of the
area but also for the Bordeaux
urban district.

«LES HAUTS PLATEAUX 2»
Bègles, near Bordeaux, France
2014, project in progress
Architect : Christophe Hutin,
with Lafarge Industry.
Client : Domofrance
Between 11 and 16 houses.
This project aims to make unique each flat
in collective housing, for each inhabitant and
each family, in order to break the standardisation process in housing. It means to offer
exception for everybody. This principle represents a straight continuation of the Structural
approach in housing, embodied mainly by the
work of Frei Otto led in Berlin, Okohaus.
Here, the project propose a 3D subdivision
in which each volume will give one house to
build. Two large concrete slab are stacked up,
by a distance of 6 meters high. Upon both of
them, the next inhabitants will be able to buy
a volume, in which they can imagine and build
themselves their own duplex house. The classical reglementation which normally is applied
on individual houses will be enforced for each
of these houses. Among others, each project
will require a building permission. All the different volumes offer the same building capacity
and the same rights than a classical parcel of
land in a lot. From hence, the project is called :
vertical lot. Thus, this structure will welcome
between 11 and 16 individual houses.
This project has been requiring years of researches with Lafarge Industry, lawyers, solicitors,
land surveyor, and the municipality. Progresses in law are a key issue to bring innovations
in the housing field.

VERTICAL LOT PROJECT
TRANSFORMAtION OF «LA VACHERIE», OPEN AIR EDUCAtION PLACE
Blanquefort, near Bordeaux, France
2011, competition, winner
Under construction
Architect : Christophe Hutin
Client : Municipality of Blanquefort
Area : 1740 m2
The ‘Vacherie’ is located in an extraordinay situation. On the southern hillside of
Blanquefort, between the romantic Parc
of Majolan, the vineyard of the agricultural highschool, and the Château Dulamon, it used to be a farm from the 19th
to the mid 20th century, dedicated to the
raising of cows and production of milk.
Its architecture shows both romantism of the
era and incredible avant-gardism in farming
techniques. Today, this place is beautifully
wild, thought it is located inside the city.
The project wishes to give back to the Vacherie its original vocation of agricultural use. It
will also be a place to host young people in
distress and to welcome short stay tourism.
It includes the restoration of the main
cowshed for recieving the public, the
construction of a new sheepfold for a local shephered and his 180 ewes, the
transformation of the old farmer’s houses into rooms for ledding the milk being
proceesed into cheese and saleroom,
the construction of a new house for the
shepherd and his family, and the collective construction of holliday cottage.

Client : Domofrance
Area : 1700 m2
20 housing plots
Regarding the constant spreading out
of the cities and with the issues which
result from it (distance between residences, activities and services, pollution..),
it is today necessary to develop an alternative to the suburbs model, adapted to the current economic and social
context. The densification and quality
of life are neither opposite nor incompatible and particulary quality to inhabit.
It is a question of creating new housing conditions which rehabilitate to the
inhabitants the idea and the desire of
community life in a denser city, by reconciling the need for intimacy, often
expressed by the desire of a house,
with the need for the collective and density. An economic and rational structure
is created, it adapts to each situation
in which it is established . This structure propose large floors areas made of
boxes being able to support pavements
or sixty cetimeters soil, support for garden. In the second time, freedom is given to each inhabitant to build his own
housing, with an architect of it’s choice.
TRANSFORMATION OF THE NEDERBERG BUILDING
Johannesburg, South Africa
2015, studies in progress
Nicolas Hubrecht
Client : Johannesburg Social Housing
Compagny JOSHCO
Area : 4904 m2
Cost : 95 900 € (excluding VAT)
The project aims to reuse the existing
buildings of Johannesburg and to adapt
them fully to the contemporary way of
life. Located in the very city center of
Johannesburg, the Nerderberg building
was built in the sixties and used to be a
retirement residence. The project is to
transform this place to social housing.
This 10-stored building overlooks on his
North front, to a great municipal garden
with beautiful trees. The Southern facade –
which corresponds with the corridor for the
dwellings – is fully made of glass and its
original windows are slightly framed.
The project proposes to transform the 54
existing studios into social dwellings and to
create 6 extra dwellings.
The Northern facade will be extended by a
structure made of concrete, of 3,60 meters
large, in order to enlarge the size of each
of the dwellings, from 32 to 43 squared
meters.
Also, the inhabitants will be able to close
the new extension of their apartment with
a sliding glassed system, and thermical
curtains, as if it was a wintergarden. This
space offers a powerful and economical
thermical regulation of the interior spaces,
and a very nice place to live in between
the inside and the outside. The concrete
structure, after the sliding glass system,
includes also individual balconies. The
ground floor will be opened to the existing
garden, and will be partly usable by small
shops on the street side. The roof top will
welcome a collective laundrette, and the all
space will be used as opened air terrasse
for drying laundry.
50 000 DWELLINGS AROUND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AXES
Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux
2011, Urban planning
Architects : Christophe Hutin, Lacaton & Vassal, Frederic Druot
Client : Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux
Area : 780 000 inhabitants, 27 municipalities
As architects, city-planners and landscape designers, we study the strategy and the feasibility of building
50 000 new dwellings in the Bordeaux’s metropole territory. The mission includes to study the ending of urban
spawl, the reduction of expenses due to urban travel, the limitation of greenhouse gases, the reduction of
charge and investments of a municipality in city planning.
The proposition draws up an inventory of the different existing situations, tries to embetter with economical
transformations the existing fragile dwellings, and to produce new housing on already serviced places. No demolition, no cutting off, no master plan, but little by little, from case to case, with precision and attention.
Cities can be transformed if one is able to change the way to see it. Let’s see cities as collections of capacities
and energies that deserve to be extended, rather than an inert mass to sculpt. One could benefit to understand
them more as agglomeration of activities and inhabitated spaces rather than a catalog of images either new
either out-of-date. Changing the way of looking the cities leeds to regard what is existing as a living value. The
possibility of a new happy and delighted start. So be it, the Bel Air neighbourhood could become the Camponac
apartment building in Pessac, Genicard could turn into the Bois le Prêtre Tower, the Langevin secondary school
could evolve as the ecological housing of Frei Otto in Berlin. Approching spaces by seeing their capacity of
being transcended is something exciting. The Existing starts to give imagination.
Learning from soweto : the squatter camp of freedom parc
Freedom Parc, Johannesburg
South Africa
2005, Urban Study, Diaporama
527 houses,
Documentary film (120’)
Client : « Envers des villes »,
program of the French Institute of
South Africa
The townships of Johannesburg were born
with the apartheid. Far away from the city
center, they gather formal neighbourhood,
and informal squatter camps, in which live
15% of the population of the city in 1994. In the
squatter camp of Freedom Parc, the people
build themselves their own houses. The
constructions are intuitive and spontaneous
and they deal with the act of building in a very
poetic way. Since they are built with a great
freedom, they can put into question a lot of
our principles : our vision of comfort and our
determined and procedural building culture.
Even if each house represents one repeted
unity, they are all done with an unexpected
richness and diversity. The squatter camp of
Freedom Parc shows how architecture can
be freed. It tells us how life is more important
than any esthetic consideration.
In SOWETO, the most famous township of
Johanneburg, these informal houses are
meant to be demolished and replaced by
generic RDP houses. Even though it brings
about an amazing urban culture, full of
hope.
TOUR OF bORDEAUX - FOUR DAYS OF tREKKING
Tour of Bordeaux, France
2003
Four days of trekking
The « Stalker » project is a collective
work between reaserches and
actions on urban territory, especially
in the field of the so called « wasted
lands ». We decided to travel by
walking, around Bordeaux, during
four consecutive days, fully imersed
in those spaces which called to
our mind fantasy and freedom.
Between the edge of the woods and
the outskirts of the city, we crossed
slowly and magically railroads,
bypasses, highways, bridges.
Always a little river to pass under
train lines and roads, always a hole
in a fence, a lonly and opened gate,
always a dog...
CREATION OF AN ARcHEOLOGIcAL cENTER
Colomiers, near Toulouse, France
2013, Built
Nicolas Hubrecht
Client : Archeodunum
Area : 860 m2
The project concerns the creation of an archeological center regrouping storage rooms
and researcher offices. From the street the
only visible element is a wall of roman ancient
amphoras. These amphoras are coming from
the excavations carried out by the archeologists. The project is composed of two volumes implanted in «U » carried out on one level, one concerning the excavations storage
located at the Southern end of the plot with a
maximum height of 3.9 meters, the other regrouping the offices is located at the Northern
end is a height of maximum of 3.2 meters.`
In the plot center, the overlap of the two volumes comes to create a large cloister. The
three closter’s elevation are completely glazed with sliding door over height. The center
of the cloister will be treated using a pond.
This pond will contribute to the visual comfort of the whole interior spaces open on the
cloister and it ll refresh it during summer time.
As a whole, the project aims to respect to
the maximum the evironment in which it
comes to be establihed. Invisible from the
street, because of it’s low height, it creates
using a simple and contemporary architecture made of light materials ( boarding
steels and polycarbonate and steel structure) a vast cloister, space of introspection.

FRENCH INSTITUTE
Johannesburg, Gauteng,
South Africa, 2012
Nicolas Hubrecht
Client : French Embassy (IFAS)
Area : 600 m2
Cost : 164 258 € excluding VAT
The building of the 62 Juta street is located in
the inner city, near the Nelson Mandela Bridge.
The two floors of 291 square meters, each one,
present many potentialities, a beautiful height
under ceiling (2,85m), vast spaces, luminous,
and largely ventilated, opening to many amazing outside view , view on the trees in the North
and view on the skyline of the city in the South.
The program of the IFAS includes common
spaces for temporary uses and more private
spaces for permanent use. Naturally, each
one of these parts comes to take seat on one
of the two floors. On the first floor, there are
the main entrance of the IFAS, spaces of reception, consultation, research, conferences
as well as food service. On the second level,
more quietful, we find the workspaces corresponding to the permanent organization of the
IFAS. Current discomfort within the two floors,
comes primarily from the old steel windows
that having acoustic and thermal weaknesses.
In order to answer as well as possible to
the comfort desired for interior spaces the
whole of the exterior windows are replaced by double glazing window in aluminium.
The whole of these windows are conceived
with double side hung, in order to allow the
users a broad possibility of natural ventilation. The project opens on the outside aim to
maximize crossing spaces, natural ventilation and insulated double glazed windows,
no air-conditioning nor no permanent heating
is envisaged. This building, when the night
will comes, will be enlightened with colors
of the french flag. Then the position of the
cultural institute will be clear to everyone.

SIX COCKTAIL BAR
Melville, Johannesburg,
South Africa
2009
Architects : Christophe Hutin, with
Nicolas Hubrecht
Area : 170 m2
The Six cocktail bar is the heart of
the neighbourhood of Melville, one
of the lively place of Johannesburg.
Since the seventies, journalists,
artists, and many intellectuals moved
in this neighbourhood, and so on, the
legendary fame of Melville grew up,
until nowadays. With the hindsight of
this brilliant past, Melville embodies
today this ideal rainbow nation. The
crowd is a mix of students, artists, and
regulars. In brief, the Six cocktail bar
is simply the safest place of Melville...
thus a universe all by itself.
In 2008, the owner decided to buy
the adjoining commercial office, with
the desire to expand his activity. The
project that we realise was simple :
to propose more space, more volume
while maintaining the spirit of the
place.

Antoine d’Abbadie mixed in this area a
scientific approach with a romantic landscape design of his time, as demonstrated
by the castle-observatory built by Viollet le
Duc on the highest place of the site. His
work was founded on astronomical surveys
established using axes and alignements.
Our project is based on this notion of axes

Area : 2 400 m2
A building cascades, in answer to a wish
of cultural and urban innovation in Dubai.
The building produces a cascade comparable with the most remarkable unspoiled
sites (the Niagara, Lake Victoria), introducing a new dialog between nature and
artifice.
The structure of the building is made up of
six tower of water storage a height of 110
Meter. This fresh water is produced by a
power station of sea water desalination
included in the structure.
Water is brought to become an extremely
invaluable resource. Its control will be without any doubt a major universal stake.
It is thus a question of proposing an infrastructure innovating in the field of the
production and the storage of fresh water
in urban environment.
The monumental, marvellous, mythological character from this project does not
come only from its vertical dimension (too
much forced, in comparison with Dubai’s
tower), but from the power and the energy
of water, its proportions and his report at
the city.
This spectacular building can create an
interest out of commun run. It evokes with
radicality and force the various wonders
of the world everywhere admired.

Client : SCI Uzestoise / Bernard Lubat
Area : 358 m2
The building, founded in Uzeste in 1937
by Alban and Marie Lubat, had been café,
restaurant, hotel, grocer, cinema, dance
hall… being transformed in the course of
time into emblematic place of the history of
the village and the rural life of the South of
Gironde.
It became since 1978 and under the aegis
of musician Bernard Lubat, the epicentre of
work of the Lubat Company and the founder place of the festival of Uzeste Musical,
acquiring by-there, an international notoriety and frequentation.
The building was the object of many work
to adapt it to the evolution of the functions,
until its state of outdatedness obliges to
close it and to consider its reorganization.
With a simple order which emanates directly from the artist : to transform the place
into “research laboratory transartistic”.
The project proposes to elarge the volume
of the theater, the creation of balconies
with acoustic and sensual forms, to displace the entry in a wintergarden and the
offices reception of the Lubat Company in
the part in the past occupied by a housing.
A very particular care was taken in the development of the elements which testify to
the last activity of the place (tiling, frontage,
old walls), while answering the technical
requirements of a place of innovation and
drastic standards as regards acoustics or
reception of the public. The whole in an
extremely reduced budget for this kind of
equipment.

SELF BUILDING COLLECTIVE HOUSING PARiS
Paris, 20th district
2015, call for project, unbuilt
Client : Municipality of Paris
Size : 677 m2 in self-constructions,
153 m2 for private gardens, 275 m2 for
collective gardens
This project is an infrastructure which allows the
expression of the freedom of the inhabitants.
This innovating concept of « vertical lot
housing » is based on the use of economical
and performing system of construction. The
proposed infrastructure is made of eight naked
slabs which offers a volume to build. On each
of them, the inhabitants can build a duplex
house with their own wishes. The ground floor
is a great garden of stones and fern, composed
as a miniature of the mountain range of the
Pyrénées.
This architecture lends itself to any kind of
appropriation. This project defends a certain art
of living, based on the pleasure of expression of
one’s freedom, with an appetite for adventure
and discovering.
HOUSING COOPERATIVE PROJECT
Bègles, Near Bordeaux, France
2014, Feasability Study
Client : Boboyaka Association
Area : 1575 m2
The Boboyaka association is a group of friends,
aged from 55 to 70 years-old, who wish to create
a new form of housing environment in which they
can get older together. They do share common
values, such as a spirit of solidarity, the wish of
empowerment of oneself, transmission between
generations, commitment in local public life and
pleasure of a table to share. Thereby, they carry a
concrete project of political utopia, characterised
by a remarkable avant-garde. Besides, They are
very different characters, as if lifted straight out
of a novel, with amazing personal dreams.
The chosen place for the project is a beautiful
300 squared-meters garden in Bègles, which
presents great qualities: wild nature, high trees,
a pond in wintertime, a well-maintained vegetable garden, some hidden huts built by children of
the neighbourhood, an attended growing vegetation, and carpets of fresh flowers.
Thus, the project will pay attention to all these
details. It is designed in direct relationship with
the environment : facing a beautiful tree, glassed
in order to reflect the landscape, opened to create panoramic views. It needs 18 private flats, and
a number of common spaces. Here, architecture
is used for making life more interesting than architecture itself.

Regarding the constant spreading out
of the cities and with the issues which
result from it (distance between residences, activities and services, pollution..),
it is today necessary to develop an alternative to the suburbs model, adapted to the current economic and social
context. The densification and quality
of life are neither opposite nor incompatible and particulary quality to inhabit.

It is a question of creating new housing
conditions which rehabilitate to the inhabitants the idea and the desire of
community life in a denser city, by reconciling the need for intimacy, often expressed by the desire of a house, with
the need for the collective and density.
An economic and rational structure is
created, it adapts to each situation in
which it is established. This structure
proposes large floors areas made of
boxes being able to support pavements
or sixty centimeters soil, support for garden. In the second time, freedom is given to each inhabitant to build his own
housing, with an architect of it’s choice.

URBAN PLOT «nÉrIGEan» rEStruCturatIon
Bordeaux, France
2008
Competition Incité / Arc en rêve
Nicolas Hubrecht, Vincent Puyoô
Area : 7 500 m2
To question the architecture of an urban plot of the historical center town
of Bordeaux and to propose a strategy
of transformation without nostalgia nor
concession with the picturesque one.
It is proposed that a large garden of
3 500 m2 is arranged in heart of a small
plot. True community property with all
the inhabitants, it is not defined by a
precise plan but composed of simple
emotional devices : a large central
tree, huts with birds laid out around the
residences and a large vegetable treillised vineyard around the programs of
the groundfloor.
Vertical circulations are moved outside
with elevators. The entirety of the residences thus becomes accessible to
everybody. Completely glazed wintergardens connecting to the garden
have just replaced the too closed old
frontages. They offer according to the
seasons, a thermal modulation with the
residences and ensure inside a maxima light and sunning. The residences
are large and profit great heights under ceilings specific to the buildings of
Bordeaux. On the street side, the 18th
century façades are preserved, and
restored without modifications.
The project is composed of 103 residences from 2 to 6 rooms with an objective of 30% of social housing.
At the ground floor, the existing shops
and services are preserved and new
ones will come to be established. On
each street, a large hall is released
making it possible to reach in the middle of the plot. The garden becomes
public at the opening hours of shops.
The ground floor of the project accommodates various programs : shops,
services, ballroom, crib, bicycle parking, halls with rooms for separate collection… But it accommodates also a
guard and a gardener, true conductors
of this space experimentation of the
democracy. This project aims to reintroduce the living in the heart of the
frame.

Client : private
Area : 160 m2
Situated in the agglomeration of Bordeaux,
in the residential area, near a city park, this
town house with workshop on two levels,
intended for a couple with children, was
realized in three months for a very limited
budget.
In the Northeast, the parcel of land is lined
by the brook of Güa, in the South and on
the West, the immediate environment
consists of suburban houses.
The project of rectangular shape, creates
the maximum of surface possible for the
ground, that is 114 m2.
All the spaces of the house is concentrated
in the first floor, the workshop of the client
being situated on the groond floor flush
with the street.
This one consists of a vast workshopclosed
in polycarbonate, of an adjacent office, as
well as a wide terrace covered with 30m2
oriented towards garden. An independent
entrance located near the right of way following the South of the parcel of land allows to reach directly at home without crossing by the workshop.
In the intimate floor, rooms corresponding
to bedrooms are situated side street, they
quite consist of wide aluminum sliding plate
glass windows with lighters.
The internal views escape the immediate
environment and are widely opened on the
park.
Overlooking the garden, the living room is

PROTOTYPES OF BIO-CLIMATIC HOUSES (T2,T3,T4 and T5)
Year : 2010
with Nicolas Hubrecht.
Size : 46 to 82,5m2
Cost : 80 000 to 110 000 €
(excluding VAT)
These prototypes of bio-climatic houses
come from reasearches on industrial
building systems, studies of phisiology
which led us to find an alternative of the
so called «passive house» or «HQE
operations», and works about self-help
housing, appropriation of spaces and
comfort of the dwelling. But the interest of
the bio-climatic houses remains in the fact
they are affordable for modest families.
The structure is from industrial standards
of horticultural greenhouses : the broadest
covered space for a limited budget. Inside
this structure, the core of the house is a
wooden modul - thermally insulated - whose
size is ajustable with the needs of the
family. The volume left in the greenhouse
gives an additional space to the house, a
wintergarden, which aims to regulate the
temperature of the house. The structure
is in galvanized steal, the enveloppe of the
house in cristal clear polycarbonate panels.
The size of the wooden modul varies from
46 to 82,5 squared meters in fonction of the
needs, the aditionnal wintergarden from 40
to 60 squared meters. Most of the time,
thoughout the year, this additional space
is assimilated as an extenstion of the main
room.

AFFORDaBLE HOUSE
Wellington, South Africa
2009, Competition
Architects : Christophe Hutin with
Nicolas Hubrecht and Vincent Puyoô
Client : ABSA
Area : 66 m2
Cost : 5500 € (excluding VAT)
This house is made with a standard industrial structure of horticultural greenhouse. This
kind of construction is employed commonly in
this area for plants production. This extremely
powerful constructive system offers very interesting possibilities. The design is optimized
and the construction is robust because it is used
in the field of agriculture. We decided to use a
greenhouse for a dwelling in order to produce
the largest top structure, affordable for a limited
budget. Inside the structure, a module of 52 m2 is
closed and insulated. The residual space inside
the greenhouse, between the wooden modules,
give more place for the uses of the house. This
wintergarden offers also a thermical regulation
of the dwelling. This « in between » space is as
a filter between inside and outside. The structure
is made with galvanized steel and covered with
polycarbonate translucent. The interior height is
of five meters : it brings about future extensions
in a duplex. The surface of the basic module is
fifty two square meters with an additional surface of 40m2 of wintergarden. Several months of
the year this additional surface will be used as
an extension of the principal room.

This project is located in a residential

concerned the renovation of an «échoppe»,
a type of habitation very present in the
agglomeration of Bordeaux. It was a very
ancient conception of housing, only the
street façade has been conserved. The plan
and the section has been totaly redesigned
in order to propose a contemporary
architecture. The ground floor is an open
plan set crosswise. From the street we can
discern the depth of the plot which is long
and narrow.The client desire was to benefit
of every conventional space of a house with
the minimum of partitioning. The straight
stair is partitioning the space: entry, kitchen,
and living room are organised around this
staircase. This plan presents a minimal
arrangment for this type of habitat. A bay
window with four sliding windows is widely
open to the garden and create an intimate
relation between interior and exterior.

with Nicolas Hubrecht et Julien Garcia
Ingeneer : Sébastien Duval
Client: Créabois
Size : 25m2
Building in the mountains brings
about differents topics such as : wind,
snow, cold, slope, acces. A particular
attention is focusing on respect for
the environnement and awareness of
natural habitat. We propose a shelter,
directly inspired by the mountain huts.
The surface area is 24 square meters.
Seasonal use brought us to seasonal
architecture. The principle is to print
on the paper enveloppe of the wooden
structure, protected mountain flowers.
The paper is fixed in spring after the
melting snow, then it stays during the
summer. In spetember, it is taken out
at the end of the season, and so forth,
every year. The structure remains
naked during winter time, subjet to the
snow, just as the wood a plant. This
system brings the poetic dimension of
the project, and make people aware of
fragility of the natural environment and
ephemeral nature of life.

En 1994, après avoir échoué au concours de la
Marine marchande, Christophe Hutin part pour
l’Afrique du Sud en pleine campagne présidentielle.
Logé à Soweto, il participe à la construction de
Schaks, des maisons à ossatures bois et bardage en
tôle montées en quelques heures et capables d’évoluer très rapidement selon la vie de l’habitant.
L’enseignement est forcément percutant. Il en
retient une attitude de fond : être précis et indéterminé. Après cette expérience critique très à l’écart
de la pratique dominante, il entreprend des études
d’architecture à Bordeaux, où il tient aujourd’hui
son agence, puis à Paris. Il fréquente les ateliers de
Jean-Philippe Vassal, Jacques Hondelatte et Bernard
Barto et, dans le cadre de son diplôme sur le vol
spatial habité, commence des études en physiologie
à la faculté de médecine de Lyon.
Tirant parti de ces superpositions d’influences, il met
progressivement en place une méthode de travail à la
fois pragmatique et cultivée, construite à partir des
individus, des situations existantes, de la complexité
du réel. Ces variables invitent bien volontiers
l’improvisation à prendre part au projet. Pour
Christophe Hutin, enseignant à l’école d’architecture
de Toulouse, il s’agit de partir de l’expérience pour
amener le projet et non l’inverse. Le dessin s’avère
alors un outil de précision et de confrontation des
hypothèses, mais en aucun cas un instrument de formalisation et de certitude. « L’architecture repose sur
le fantasme de l’idée géniale d’une seule personne
qu’une équipe mettrait des mois à concrétiser. Pour
D’ARCHITECTURES 220 - SEPTEMBRE 13
ma part, je vais plutôt passer des mois à réfléchir
autour de contingences pour que, peut-être, à la fin,
une idée ressorte. » Ainsi jamais l’architecture ne doit
précéder le réel. Et c’est l’usage, non pas la fonction
– anticipation forcée –, qui génère une matérialité.
Dans cette optique, la notion même de commande
ne va pas de soi, mais renvoie à un processus à
rebours que Hutin s’attelle fréquemment à déclencher lui-même. Il propose par exemple à la mairie de
Bègles de réaliser une opération de logements
sociaux sur le principe d’un lotissement vertical.
Outre le travail sur le potentiel que peut avoir une
structure à supporter toutes les libertés possibles, l’architecte réfléchit à l’abrogation de l’idée de copropriété, jusqu’à proposer à la municipalité que les
circulations verticales lui soient rétrocédées.
Autre commande de terrain : trouver une alternative
à la maison de retraite par la question foncière. Pour
loger un groupe de retraités sans capital, l’agence travaille à l’optimisation de résidus urbains délaissés
par les promoteurs et dont la Ville serait soulagée de
se débarrasser. C’est dans cet esprit de minutie
urbaine que Hutin aborde l’appel à idées lancé par la
Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux pour la
construction de 50 000 logements, alors associé à
Lacaton & Vassal, Frédéric Druot et Cyrille Marlin.
Selon l’équipe, le territoire de la CUB recèle suffisamment d’opportunités construites existantes, qu’il
suffit de prolonger et de combiner pour générer
180 000 logements nouveaux sans avoir besoin
d’artificialiser ses réserves. Une démarche alors très
difficile à faire entendre. Cette pensée de la ville par
le hors-champ doit sans doute trouver ses propres
voies d’exercice, même s’il semble que la situation
économique oblige aujourd’hui à écouter davantage
les approches urbaines ajustées, aptes à faire de
l’indétermination un facteur d’évolutivité. �
ATELIER D’ARCHITECTURE SKY, SOWETO
Ce projet cristallise les positions de Christophe
Hutin sur l’enseignement de l’architecture : confronter les élèves aux contingences d’une situation réelle
pour expérimenter le projet. Pendant deux semaines,
onze étudiants de l’école d’architecture de Toulouse
et onze étudiants de l’université de Johannesburg ont
travaillé au sein de l’orphelinat de SKY (Soweto
Kliptown Youth) dans le quartier de Kliptown, au
sud-ouest de Johannesburg, près de Soweto.
Véritable institution, cet orphelinat est un lieu
d’éducation, de création artistique et de lien social.
Les nombreux bâtiments s’organisent autour de sa
cour principale : un réfectoire-cuisine, une bibliothèque-centre informatique, des dortoirs pour garçons et filles. Situé dans un quartier non reconnu
officiellement, le centre communautaire ne bénéfi-
cie pas de connexion au tout-à-l’égout, ses douches
ne sont pas raccordées, sa cour principale très
en pente est l’objet d’importants ruissellements les
jours de pluie, inondant les dortoirs.
En amont de l’atelier, les étudiants ont collecté tout
type d’information pour formuler des propositions
et les confronter à la réalité. Ainsi, leur projet de
drainage constitué de deux bassins filtrant a été
réduit et compacté, leur système d’étanchéité simplifié au regard de la dureté du sol existant et le raccord
de deux toilettes extérieures à un tuyau existant déjà
en attente a été préféré à la création de toilettes
sèches. Surface déterminante du projet, une dalle de
400 mètres carrés en béton drainant Hydromedia
absorbe les contraintes de sol et offre une scène pour
les activités de danse et de musique. �

ARCHÉODUNUM, COLOMIERS (HAUTE-GARONNE)
À la demande de la société suisse d’archéologie Archéodunum de réaliser ses
locaux d’activités, les architectes ont répondu en s’appuyant sur le caractère ordinaire, voire inintéressant, d’un site existant, traduisant ainsi l’impact de la pratique des archéologues sur l’espace et le paysage. Le terrain est situé dans la ZAC
des Ramassiers, calé entre des zones d’activités à l’est et au sud et des logements
individuels au nord et à l’ouest. Le site, plat, sans arbre, ne présente ni qualités
particulières, ni vue prenante sur les environs. Un plan général du quartier prévoit la réalisation en fond de parcelle d’un talus paysagé, bâché et composé de
plantes grasses. Les architectes ont voulu introvertir l’organisation du bâtiment,
tout en développant une approche du paysage à partir de l’usage. Le projet
s’organise en deux parties autour d’un cloître : l’une, située à l’extrémité nord,
abrite les zones administratives et de recherche ; la seconde, au sud, regroupe les
zones de stockage et de lavage des fouilles. Le système structurel à ossature métallique permet une flexibilité de l’organisation des espaces intérieurs.
De plain-pied et de faible hauteur, le bâtiment profite d’un bassin central technique. Celui-ci contribue au confort thermique de l’édifice et permet la récupération des eaux pluviales. Un talus périphérique ceinture le terrain. Il est constitué
de pierres de montagne en éboulis qui favorisent l’apparition d’une faune et
d’une flore naturelles, de plantes de zones humides et d’arbres fruitiers. �

MAISON & ATELIER, ARTIGUES (GIRONDE)
À la suite de la vente de leur logement social, un
couple avec deux enfants s’adresse à Christophe
Hutin pour faire construire leur maison. Acquérir
un terrain à un prix raisonnable est bien sûr déterminant pour rendre réalisable ce projet à faible
budget. Le site retenu à Artigues, en périphérie de
Bordeaux, est caractéristique des territoires extra
urbains, avec ses échangeurs, ses hangars commerciaux et ses lotissements. Une situation hybride au
réel potentiel car dotée d’espaces verts et de respirations favorisant des manières d’habiter ouvertes,
tout comme l’exploitation d’une structure
commerciale. Le terrain de petite superficie se distingue par la présence d’un grand cèdre et d’un
cours d’eau aux rives bordées de roseaux côté nord,
mais également par un sol de très mauvaise qualité.
12
Cette contrainte implique de placer l’atelierbureau-garage en partie basse et l’habitation en surplomb avec sa terrasse en porte-à-faux. L’architecte
aborde ainsi le projet par la possibilité de relations
et de superpositions qu’il offre avec le paysage. Il
travaille en prenant en compte à la fois les usages
des habitants et les vues qu’ils souhaiteraient avoir
depuis la maison. Celle-ci sera pour ainsi dire une
intersection, une limite, la plus légère et évolutive
possible, entre un intérieur et un extérieur.
Fondations par pieux métalliques battus, structure
acier, bardage en plaques métalliques petites ondes
laquées blanc et polycarbonate, dalle béton ciré au
sol, menuiseries extérieures aluminium teinté anodisé naturel et double vitrage constituent le cadre
perméable de ce projet d’habitation. �

PREMIÈRE PHASE, BÈGLES
SOUMIS À LA QUESTION
> DA : Q UEL EST VOTRE PREMIER SOUVENIR D ’ ARCHITECTURE ?
Christophe Hutin : Construire une maison en deux heures à Soweto.
C HRISTOPHE H UTIN …
Inspiré par l’opération de logements évolutifs réalisée par Frei Otto pour l’IBA à Berlin, ce projet de
lotissement vertical a d’abord été étudié pour
l’Afrique du Sud. Il repose sur l’idée d’offrir à
l’échelle collective les qualités d’usages et de liberté
propres à la maison individuelle, tout en profitant
des commodités d’un site dense.
Construit dans le cadre du projet d’aménagement de
Bel Air, le projet des Hauts Plateaux est situé entre la
route de Toulouse et la gare de Bègles, en bordure de
Villenave-d’Ornon. Ses planchers superposés, de 120
à 220 mètres carrés, comprennent une partie
construite et une partie évolutive : 50 % de surface
habitable, 25 % de surface de jardin et 25 % de surface intermédiaire offrant une possibilité d’extension
pour les dix-sept logements en gradin, dont deux
sont à rez-de-chaussée, cinq à R+1, cinq à R+2 et cinq
autres en duplex à R+3 et R+4. L’habitant peut ainsi
étendre son logement sur des surfaces non shonées,
et donc acquises à moindre coût. L’architecture
devient une capacité à se laisser habiter et investir, à
se laisser faire en somme. Elle porte sur la création
de réseaux, de circulations verticales, sur la relation
au climat et le potentiel technique des planchers en
béton brut de finition, d’une capacité de 1 t/m2. Pour
sa première phase, cette opération est livrée en Vefa,
ce qui contraint à vendre des logements « finis ». Une
seconde phase, plus radicale dans son économie et
l’appropriation qu’elle met en jeu, proposera à la
vente d’uniques surfaces de planchers intelligentes,
adaptables à toutes les interventions. �

CH : La tour de Pise, une surprise est possible.
> C ITEZ UN OU PLUSIEURS ARCHITECTES QUE VOUS TROUVEZ SURFAITS.
CH : Si on peut régler ses comptes, alors je dirais les néo-modernes, leur approche
mortifère est un fléau, surtout dans l’enseignement. La matérialité, la verticalité, la
pérennité…, un jargon impressionnant mais vide de sens.
> U NE ŒUVRE ARTISTIQUE A - T- ELLE PLUS PARTICULIÈREMENT INFLUENCÉ VOTRE TRAVAIL ?
CH : Tout l’artistique influence mon travail, c’est son rôle. L’art nous ouvre des voies,
pose des questions essentielles. Le travail de Bernard Lubat, avec qui j’ai travaillé m’a
fait évoluer sur de nombreux points, l’improvisation en particulier.
> Q UEL EST LE DERNIER LIVRE QUI VOUS A MARQUÉ ?
CH : Le dernier livre que j’ai lu est Aventures d’un gourmand vagabond de Jim
Harrison, entre deux repas en Italie. De la lecture à 10 000 calories.
> Q U ’ EMMÈNERIEZ - VOUS SUR UNE ÎLE DÉSERTE ?
CH : Ma fiancée et rien d’autre. Si, j’oubliais : un bateau bien sûr.
> Q UELLE EST VOTRE VILLE PRÉFÉRÉE ?
CH : Le village de mon enfance en montagne, Arrens-Marsous [Hautes-Pyrénées].
> L E MÉTIER D ’ ARCHITECTE EST- IL ENVIABLE EN 2013 ?
CH : C’est plus une profession qu’un métier, aujourd’hui. Les architectes comme les
autres font carrière, voilà pourquoi. Sinon, c’est un beau métier, il faut y faire attention, il a chaud aux fesses.
> S I VOUS N ’ ÉTIEZ PAS ARCHITECTE , QU ’ AIMERIEZ - VOUS FAIRE ?
CH : Je pourrais faire bien d’autres choses, pas de problème avec ça, ma vocation
était d’être marin. Je n’ai pas fini ma vie active, on verra bien ce que me réservent
l’avenir et moi-même.
> Q UE DÉFENDEZ - VOUS ?
CH : La vie sous toutes ses formes.
