Last year Kitoko Studio has been selected to design a media library and a youth centre in Saint Sylvain, a small village in Normandy. The project will be located next to the town hall and a church classified as a heritage building. The media library already existed but was located inside the town hall building in a small room. Due to the population growth and the number of people using the equipment, the village decided to build a building to accommodate the users. The project will be a new landmark in the village.

Last Site Visit Before the Summer Break 2/2:
The construction project consisting of 19 housing units (11 intermediate housing units and 8 individual houses) in Soliers, Calvados, for the social housing provider Inolya, located in the ZAC du Parc (developed by Normandie Aménagement and designed by Magnum), is progressing rapidly. The project is divided into two lots, one bordering the new urban square and the other in the heart of the neighborhood.

On Lot A1 (11 intermediate housing units and 4 individual houses), the structural work, roof framing, and standing seam steel sheet roofing are all complete. Thin-profile aluminum windows and glass doors have been installed, and the exterior cladding is currently underway.

On Lot A2 (4 individual houses), the structural work is nearing completion.

The site is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2024.

In 2018 one of our previous client contacted us to visit a property they wanted to purchase in Normandy. This house will mostly be used by the client family and their friends during the weekend and on holidays. When we discovered the house we were surprised by the size of the property. The 4 buildings (one house for the guests, one building for the cars, one abandoned building that will be transformed later and the main house) were sitting on a vast land surrounded by the forest and a pond.

The 600sqm main building we were about to renovate looked huge from outside. The interior was in poor condition, more than half of the house didn’t have any insulation, partitions walls, electricity or even floor sometimes. Let's say the project was going to be challenging!

So during 4 years with the client's help and trust, we designed and renovated this holiday house surrounded by a team of quality contractors. It was a long process but we are proud of the final project result and hope that the client do so.

Good architecture takes time, energy and to have the right people at the right moment. We were lucky to have all these ingredients to deliver this project.
