Usually representing spirits, ancestors or the primordial couple, these figures were placed in shrines and treated with great respect. Through a wide range of style, scale, belief and function the couples depicted share a timeless, serene equality necessary to the continuity of their societies.

DAR is a family house on the Northern coast of Tunisia, overlooking the sea.

Dar / Atelier FL

The project consists in two separate volumes strongly connected to the garden, the pool and the sea view, set on top of a massive "platform".

The living spaces inserted into the "platform" have a courtyard with a garden.

The design focus was not on forms and geometry.

Dar / Atelier FL

The idea was to offer the possibility of experiencing different interior views besides the sea and a sequence of "in-between spaces" visually connected.
