Résidences Flore&Sens - Montbrelloz

This project comprises the construction of four buildings on a human scale in the small rural community of Montbrelloz (part of the municipality of Estavayer-le-Lac). The 29 privately owned apartments are aimed at a mixed clientele looking to enjoy a countryside location. 
 
The development is notable for the way in which it successfully blends into the existing surroundings and – more especially – for its architecture, which harmonises with the characteristic village style of the countryside around Fribourg. The main elements of this style are tiled gable roofs with timber frames, wooden cladding for attic spaces and low profiles. The future residents of Flore&Sens will also be able to enjoy high-quality outside spaces.
 
A particular focus has been placed on landscaping so as to create a new living and meeting area in the centre of Montbrelloz. Generously sized gardens for ground-floor residents, a vegetable garden and communal greenhouse will also be available. A large number of fruit trees will be planted with a view to encouraging biodiversity. With regard to inside spaces, the Flore&Sens residential project has been designed so as to maximise building volumes and admit ample daylight.
