Program
Situated in Larmor-Plage, this RE 2020 residential development delivers 80 apartments across three buildings (G+3+Attic) on a 12,582 m² site. White masonry volumes are capped by wood-toned attic levels and sloped standing-seam metal roofs.
The landscape strategy preserves protected woodland and the southern humid valley through soft pedestrian paths, layered local planting and rain gardens, allowing the development to sit within rather than overwrite its ecological setting.

Project Overview
Set on the Plateau du Ménez in Larmor-Plage, the project operates as a territorial transition between the former agricultural plateau and the coastal landscape of the Rade de Lorient. Its OAP framework calls for new residential density to be reconciled with the preservation of a highly specific landscape structure.
Three distinct residential volumes are positioned in response to the site’s slope, creating a loose ensemble rather than a continuous perimeter block. Their orientation opens views, landscape passages and shared ground between the buildings, while a common architectural language anchors the development within the local Larmorien context.
Rather than treating landscape as residual space, the project uses it as the connective structure of the scheme — linking dwellings, pedestrian movement, communal gardens and the protected ecological edges of the site.
