Inspired by the famous fable of the same name written by James Halliwell, the Three Little Pigs is a playful and folkloric transposition of the three little houses into a tiered townhouse project in the Saint-Sauveur neighbourhood. The project proposes to formally explore how three distinct entities symbolizing straw, wood and brick can harmoniously cohabit together. The organization of the interior spaces is typical of this signature typology: living spaces bathed in light are located on the upper landings and the integration of a garage or an additional room in the facade makes it possible to activate the first floor with unique entrances. Alternating terraces, staggered at the front and back, provide a certain intimacy to the occupants.
On the façade, the masonry work of the "straw" unit, whose brickwork is partially arranged in a vertical pane and whose windows are off-center, symbolizes the fragility of the material as presented in the tale. The "wood" unit, whose alcove on the floor allows to better mark the threshold between the public life of the street and the intimacy of one's home, discreetly fits into the whole. The last reddish "brick" house is rigid and solid: only its silver roof softens the transition with the neighborhood.
Beware of the big bad wolf!
