The House for Two
Le Havre, France
The House For Two is a spring residential house conceived exclusively for the life of two persons. The sublime and simplistic choreography of the two main spaces are positioned contrastly. The first volume is a public guest hall with a wide-view gate and a dining room simultaneously. The hall faces the eastern horizon and continues as an open-air parlor with a terrace garden. The second volume is a bedroom, design of the sleeping room is purely concatenated with a bathroom on one side and the private gallery line on the other side. The concrete divider at the core is the most private place of the house. The water space with a precise skylight and spatially articulated hygienic rooms - a pretentious manifestation of the strong spatial unity between the two. Concrete-stone structure works in confluence with the surrounding environmental situation. The house plan allows retaining the landscape features of the plot. Therefore revealing the unique natural character of the area by the deliberate architectural framing and compositional fixation.
