For Quartier Sarlabot, the new residential area of Dives-Sur-Mer, Reset-Studio is missioned for urban analysis, development of the master plan, definition of urban regulations and controlling the building permit documents .  This area is adjacent to rapid urbanization in the extension of the historic center. It is intended to find the harmony of mixed urbanization with a predominance of habitat, equipment and associated services. The project creates a connection between two zones:  The subdivided housing area and the homogeneous attached housing area that can be compared to «Town House».

The proposed subdivision is based on a minimum of 20 m from the road for each lot.  The general composition of the management plan determines the lot limitations, the foot print of the houses and the offset distance from the separating limits.  The layout of lots and foot print zones consists of one zone to another by de-densifying and creating a harmonious transition between the two adjacent zones.  It offers an efficient alternative: 14 plots with minimum 20.00 width on street and site boundaries between 440 m² and 570 m². Each possible layout integrates one story house and offers at least a double exposure and a garden to the south.  The particularity of the site dictated the general form of the bands of constructible zone to organize façades on the street and the park, to create glances through the plots and to reserve large spaces planted on the whole area.
