The architect's office is back to the worksite...
...that it should have never left.
In this project, the artisan uses common industrial material to discover his own freedom.
The ultimate aim of all visual art is the complete building! Walter Gropius. Bauhaus Manifesto.
On the foundation of an old industrial site ...
...is now standing this house, designed & built by the architect Olivier Noterman for his family.
A computer, a concrete mixer, an arc welder, a hammer are the tools for the architect in search of simplicity, honesty and affordability. The result is a synergetic, unsophisticated space.
Why to build more complicated, while it is so simple...
Jean Prouvé. (Course at C.N.A.M.)
Integrating the basic elements ...,
...of materials- space - functions, the design seeks to avoid the common mistake of collaging components to be complex without being complicated, honest without being repressive
The "styles" are a lie
Le Corbusier "Towards a new architecture."
Space-Functions
Children share the first floor, parents the main level . The family rooms connect to an inside garden.
A former industial cistern has become the wine cellar.
Form is decoration, the rythmic interplay of mass and volume and line. Material is decoration: the rythmic emphasis of texture and color. Depth is decoration: The rythmic movement and delight of light and color.
Craig Ellwood.
