In the heart of an enclosed estate at the edge of the Fontainebleau forest, in the village of Barbizon, the La Lisière project, designed by the Ciguë architecture firm, consists of seven eco-friendly contemporary villas, forming a collective project that reinvents the concepts and uses of individual housing.
On Friday, October 18, and Saturday, October 19, come and discover the La Lisière construction site during the 2024 National Architecture Days! The tours will be conducted by MA, the project leader and developer, and Ciguë, the architect.

La Lisière implements a unique and sustainable solid wood construction process created by Ciguë, which guarantees environmental quality, landscape integration, and aesthetic harmony for the 7 villas. The materials are either bio-based or geo-sourced, minimizing the carbon footprint; the high-performance insulation, made from wood fiber and hemp wool, ensures a healthy atmosphere; the wood is used for the carpentry and cladding, and water is collected. The designers have focused on high-end features to ensure an ideal living environment close to Paris.
