The Detached house by Recita Architecture is perched on a hill at the edge of Dallet village, overlooking Limagne's plain to the north and facing a horse pasture to the south.

Savings were achieved by minimizing the building's footprint and spreading the program over three levels. A semi-buried base shelters the garage and anchors the house on the slope. The living rooms on the first floor have four orientations and have direct access to the rear garden, which is more intimate. Finally, the children's rooms make use of the high ceilings to accommodate huts suspended from the roof structure and accessible via small ladders.

By appearing as an isolated object, the house appears as an oasis in the landscape and creates a sense of immediate impact. The prismatic form of the plan, combined with the slope of the land, gives rise to a slender silhouette on the north façade and, conversely, presents the usual proportions at the top of the slope.

Built-in clay bricks, the project employs corrugated iron cladding in a refined and careful use of the material. Large larch windows offer unobstructed views of the Puys mountain range and the town of Pont-du-Château below.
