Cazouls les Bézier.

Setup

A public project in Cazouls-lès-Béziers, in the south of France: low pavilions organized around garden courts, by Naos.

oaki produced the competition image set in 2025.

Tension

Low buildings lose competitions to tall drawings. Architecture that keeps its head down, pavilions, courts, planting, has to win on atmosphere and ground-level truth, because it will never win on skyline. The images had to make modesty read as intent.

Approach

The garden court leads, and the eye stays low: the sequence walks between the pavilions at the height a visitor would, ending on the built edge where material meets planting. Languedoc light.
