On the arrival of their second child, Charlène and Benoît, content creators and entrepreneurs based on the outskirts of Tours, decided to take the plunge and leave renting behind to build the house of their dreams. It’s a project born of an observation shared by many families in the wake of the health crisis.
Accompanied by their master builder friend, they acquired a plot of land at the end of a hamlet to design a contemporary house built around light and family life.
Architecture centered on the living area
The heart of the house is the large living room, open to the outside world: large bay windows, a ceiling height of almost five meters, and the generous volume of an existing renovated farmhouse. A space bathed in natural light throughout the day.
For the adjacent volumes: offices, bedrooms (etc.) the project manager directed the couple towards a solution that was both aesthetically pleasing and durable for cladding their exterior facade: sheet cladding.
ORSOL Neomineral sheet cladding: contemporary meets authentic
To create a visual coherence with the low stone wall delimiting the plot, the choice fell on ORSOL Neomineral cladding slabs from the Cubik collection in a natural tone. This exterior cladding is in keeping with the resolutely modern spirit of the building, while recalling the natural materials of the site.
“We’re getting great feedback on our house in general, but especially on the choice of ORSOL siding. We’ll never get tired of it.”
Neominéral cladding panels offer the authentic look of natural stone, without the weight or installation constraints of traditional materials. Weather-resistant, lightweight and easy to install, they are one of the most popular solutions forexterior facade cladding, both for new-build and renovation projects.
ORSOL sheet cladding: far beyond the façade
Although Charlène and Benoît chose Neomineral Cubik cladding panels for their exterior facades, the collection can be adapted to many other areas of the home.
For projects integrating a terrace, ORSOL’s sheet cladding for terrace walls is ideal for extending the aesthetic unity of the exterior right through to the relaxation area. Cubik’s natural mineral appearance creates a perfect visual continuity between the façade of the house and the outdoor features.
Feedback that speaks for itself
Used to sharing their daily lives with their community on social networks, the couple’s feedback on their home is unanimous, and the exterior cladding is often the first topic of conversation.
“We’re getting great feedback on our house in general, but especially on the choice of ORSOL siding. We’ll never get tired of it.”
Proof that a well-chosen material, in this case ORSOL stone cladding panels, guarantees lasting aesthetic satisfaction, long after the job has been completed.

Whether you’re building or renovating, ORSOL Neomineral cladding panels can be adapted to every style and every space: exterior facades, terrace walls, pool surrounds, outdoor landscaping.
