the construction of the building combines concrete and steel, which allowed the french architecture studio to create large overhangs, combined with extensive glass volumes.inside and out, we opted for raw and noble materials such as stone, wood and metal, to retain a warm and intimate atmosphere,’ notes brengues le pavec. from the terrace of the living area, a few carefully placed steps allow access to the overflow mirror swimming pool, which is clad in bali stones. stone furniture complements the natural landscape, creating a welcoming space in the heart of the garden.exterior view of the house extension by brengues le pavec brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france brengues le pavec adds mirror swimming pool to house extension in the south of france
