Text description provided by the architects. Designed by VEDEA - Véronique Descharrières Architecte and LLA Lionel Leotardi Architecture, the Villa Béa is located on a private parcel in the village of Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, near Lyon, France. As a pavilion set in a garden, its integration into the wooded surroundings is accentuated by neighboring historical edifices and impressive centenary trees.
The adjacent buildings encircling the roughly 3,000 m² sites shield it from having direct access to the public streets and give the parcel a secluded quality. A metal enclosure borders the property limits and prevents direct sight lines to the interior of the site. This allows the new house to take advantage of its intimate setting and open onto the wooded area.

and kitchen are located along the glazed façades
with service and secondary zones situated at the back of the house
The drop-ceiling and the floor surfaces incorporate a hydraulic radiant thermal regulation system adapted to the morphology and to the structure of the house and is also hidden in recesses so as to preserve the uniform spatial reading

Although the subject gets little media coverage
the problem of food in French school cafeterias is a headache for many parents of Muslim students
some mayors have decided not to offer alternative menus in school cafeterias
which since 2016 has mandated that only a single menu be offered for school meals
And when the only meal offered is sometimes centered around pork
students who eat only halal or kosher – approved under Muslim or Jewish guidelines
respectively – have trouble getting enough to eat
some mayors have proposed an exclusively vegetarian menu
These mayors have given the choice to parents with three possible menus: meat
The Grenoble City Hall asked parents to choose the menu they wanted
and 94% opted for fish or beef/chicken menus
Children in those schools were able to choose their meals
unlike the situation created by other mayors who think that secularism means making Muslim and Jewish children either eat pork or go hungry
parents in schools where pork is often the only choice launched an online petition to demand alternative menus
the Council of State clearly ruled that proposals for alternative menus in fact do no undermine secularism or religious neutrality
it argued that "a single menu goes against the sense of history at a time when food waste is being criticized.”
defended by the City Council in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune
hinders access to catering for 20% of students
or belief (vegetarianism)," said the parents’ petition
adding: "The role of a mayor is to serve the population
in the name of the general welfare.”
including journalist and feminist activist Rokhaya Diallo
have lent support to the petition and encouraged others to sign it
Muslims are subjected to unrelenting attacks and exclusion amid an intensifying debate over the visibility of the community
There is a question about the definition and concrete application of the principle of secularism
While some want to go further by prohibiting any "Muslim-related" visibility
wants to modify a 2004 law on religious symbols in schools to ban certain types of clothing
free-flowing garment worn by Muslim women over their clothes
Apparently referring to Muslim young girls who wear long skirts
he called allowing such clothing "a misuse of secularism.”
Some elected representatives in France apparently want to have "a clothing police" that will have the right to decide if attire is a religious dress
several French media outlets have charged that the abayas “violate secularism,” and so young girls should not wear them
Many of the same outlets also believe that girls should not wear short skirts
some in France try to impose "republican" clothes
