At Nathalie and Eric’s: Pure lines facing the sea

Nathalie and her family hail from Brittany, near Brest. Having always been sailors, it was on their boat, during a trip to the Balearic Islands and Greece, that she imagined their home, and the materials, including stone, that would make it up.

In 2015, she called on architect Jean-Luc HÉRY to design this large 330 m² house. The specifications were clear:

We needed a minimum of four bedrooms, large living areas, and not forgetting… a sea view!

Recommended by Mr Justino COSTA (COSTA MACONNERIE), who did all the structural work, we chose the Rocky Mountain collection from ORSOL collection that Nathalie selected.

Mr COSTA and Mr HÉRY had nothing but praise for ORSOL products, and the Rocky Mountain cladding matched our project perfectly.

It’s clearly a success; thanks to the large bay windows, you can see the stone cladding in all the rooms, and it’s very beautiful!

In addition to the geometric look, Nathalie wanted to add rhythm and warmth by opting for a mix of materials: rendering, wood and ORSOL facing stone.

The cladding is also enhanced at night by floor lights, to bring out its texture and relief during long evenings on the terrace.

At Sarah and Sébastien’s: A terrace like a cocoon

Sarah and Sébastien, married for 7 years, are passionate about architecture, decoration and interior design. Unable to find the rare pearl in the typical houses in their area near Calais, they opted for a construction project that began in 2021.

A crush born on Instagram, through the projects of Angélique and Jean-Baptiste, and Audrey and Patric, in which it was easy for Sarah to project herself.

“We had hesitated with the Cubikcollection, but the photos of these projects tipped the balance in favor of Portland. We really don’t regret ordering our siding from ORSOL. “

They wanted a cozy outdoor space, and imagined an in-ground terrace where the Portland ORSOL collection found its place.

We preferred to start with a blank page and write our story.

explains Sébastien.

“We wanted a warm, cocooning corner where we could gather as a family, with our two daughters, or enjoy convivial moments with friends,” says Sarah. A crush born on Instagram, through the projects of Angélique and Jean-Baptiste, and Audrey and Patric, in which it was easy for Sarah to project herself.

To highlight the beauty of the cladding, Sarah added LED strips, which bring out the reliefs at dusk and make for cosy, warm evenings. Exterior landscaping has been meticulously designed. Potted trees, as seen here, and tastefully selected wooden furniture bring out the natural look of the cladding.

A terrace that attracts guests

As with most of the work on their self-built home, Sarah and Sébastien installed the ORSOL Portland siding themselves. ” Sébastien was in charge of the installation; it took him a good day, not counting the slab wall caps. It was very quick and easy! The rather large format of the sheet cladding makes it easy for even a small DIY enthusiast to install ,” says Sarah.

She adds: “We couldn’t be happier with our choice of Portland ORSOL cladding: it’s the rendering we wanted in terms of shade, nuances, relief… We’re really enjoying this underground living room, because we’re there so often. Guests even move more naturally towards the buried living room than towards the terrace!”

An ambitious project in Chalette-sur-Loing

A social landlord attached to the Loiret department, LogemLoiret is active in both large towns and more rural areas, with both multi-family and single-family projects. In Chalette-sur-Loing, north of Montargis, a former school has given way to sixty homes in three buildings.

The genesis of the project

Nathalie Uro explains the genesis of the project: “The town council wanted to have collective housing and density, but also retail outlets on the building front, in continuity with the town center”. It was the proposal by architects VACONSIN MAZAUD and ATELIER POINVILLE that caught LogemLoiret‘s eye. The organization wanted to place a strong emphasis on architectural quality, in order to break the stereotype of social housing.

The excellence of ORSOL Meulière cladding

“It was a question of a quality program, bringing the charm ofORSOL ‘s Meulière cladding to the various materials present in this project, such as wood and zinc. “For an even more modern look, we opted for a natural shade, which was not in the catalog, and which was custom-made for this project, which includes 200 m² of cladding.

Quality landscaping

“What we wanted was landscaping. Each first floor benefits from a piece of land, or a small garden. The same goes for the communal areas. We wanted to give tenants a natural feel, for a better quality of life. ORSOL cladding is a perfect example of this.

Successfully integrated into the town center

These three buildings have found their place in the heart of the city, and blend in perfectly with their surroundings thanks to different materials such as stone cladding. Xavier Launay concludes: “The Meulière en ton naturelcollection, specially ordered for this project, has been unanimously acclaimed! LogemLoiret employees, local councillors and tenants alike are very satisfied with the result, both in terms of quality and aesthetics.
