Riding-school with integrated stalls, clubhouse, grandstands, and living space.
The client bought a plot of land next to a river and on the outskirts of a small city where he intended create a complex of buildings for horse shows and exhibitions. We convinced the client that, unlike similar complexes that exist in France, he ought to try a plan that would combine the living spaces with the actual working areas for the horses under a single roof.
This arrangement would have the following advantages:

The client bought a plot of land next to a river and on the outskirts of a small city where he intended create a complex of buildings for horse shows and exhibitions. We convinced the client that, unlike similar complexes that exist in France, he ought to try a plan that would combine the living spaces with the actual working areas for the horses under a single roof.
This arrangement would have the following advantages:
- Since the budget for the project was very limited, and the cost of a hanger relatively small, the living spaces could be provided with a inexpensive roof -- and the rafters of the roof would provide a serviceable frame for further building.
- The construction work might carry on under this same roof; an obvious advantage in the wet Breton climate.
- Aesthetically, a large single building would be more pleasing than a great hall with a small, separate residence.
- The fact that both horses and people are housed within the same building makes supervision of the horses throughout much simpler.
