This house stands just at the top of a wooded hill in the
south-eastern outskirts of Bordeaux. It has views across
the city and the valley of the river Garonne. The house was
designed for a client confined to a wheelchair after a car accident.
It incorporates a hydraulic platform, capable of moving
between the levels of the house and large enough for the
wheelchair-bound client to use as a work space. The platform
moves up and down alongside a tall book-stack.
