LITTORAL architecture studio was commissioned to rehabilitate a workshop in Bordeaux, a port city located in the southwest of France and one of the most important in the country due to its vineyards.
The rehabilitation of the workshop consists of completely emptying the compartmentation and the different existing floors, also removing the false ceiling, thus managing to transform a ninety-three square meter workshop into a three-story home.

FIEFFE the new home designed by LITTORAL. is divided into three levels. The basement, where the work space is located; the ground floor, where the kitchen, dining room, star room, and bathroom are located; and the mezzanine with the bedroom.
The location of the bathroom at the patio level allows ventilation and sunlight. While the film-coated plywood guarantees the durability of the work without polluting additives.

Project description by LITTORAL
The store is freed from compartmentalization and the existing floor.
The new floor is made of sanded concrete slab, a hopper to the south guarantees ventilation, heat and light in the basement.
The stone facade to the north is widely perforated to open the house to the courtyard.
The false ceiling is removed to free up the volume of the house.
The insulation of the roof is carried out at the bottom, it is protected with galvanized ondulin so as not to modify the alignments of the shops to the street.

The bathroom is located at patio level, allowing for ventilation and abundant sunlight.
The bedroom is built on a mezzanine on 3 Douglas fir beams and a floor of collaborative metal trays to reduce the thickness of the floor and diffuse light towards the heart of the house.
Film-coated plywood panels ensure durability of work without polluting additives and practical implementation.
The carpentry offers an experiment on implementations: tunnel in the street, interior wall light in the living room and exterior wall light for the bathroom.
