The house, as it is
The survey of the existing building: its position on the plot, the orientation, the altitude, then the materials and the five levels. Nothing here is planned; everything is measured or photographed.
Siting
The house occupies plot no. 619 in Roche, 1'753 m², along Route du Simplon. It is set towards the north-east, the garden and the driveway taking up the south-western half, with eleven outdoor parking spaces around the building, from south to north-west.
The contour lines surveyed on this plan run from 382 to 385 m. The altitude of the building is about 383 m.
The building is rotated 62° from north. Its four façades are oriented north-west (azimuth 332°), north-east (62°), south-east (152°) and south-west (242°). The south-east façade, with the covered terrace, gives onto the garden. These angles are measured on the site plan, north arrow checked, to within one degree.
