Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Rue Pierre Rebiere in France by Nicolas Laisné & Christophe RousselleMarch 22nd, 2012 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Nicolas Laisné & Christophe Rousselle The two buildings stand within a narrow stretch of land with a width of twelve meters, in spite of this constrained configuration the design is freeing itself from it through the expression of the volumes offering “an true attic at every level” Different and complementary, the two buildings have a visual contrapuntal communication, in rhythm with the Rue Rebière Whilst the first one expresses major horizontal lines towards the public space, the second is inspired by the trunk’s lines and tree’s canopy, embodied by the use of a vertical wooden cladding.

Shadows and reflections (metallic glints), concede a kind of lightness, as if the plates were sliding one over the other. The second building, conceived with a beam-column structure filled with a wooden frame with wooden cladding skin, is organized as piled houses.

On the ground floor level, the link with the street is arranged with private planted gardens which give rhythm to the built volumes and the vegetation In a more urban aspect, the variations and shifts of the different levels express a feeling of a volume built with a clear concern of the pedestrian scale. From below, this expression of suspended plates gives way to an “architectural vision” The interiors of each accommodation benefit with multiple sun light exposure, as a prolongation of the generous and singular outdoor spaces  Image Courtesy Philippe Ruault  Image Courtesy Philippe Ruault  Image Courtesy Philippe Ruault  Image Courtesy Philippe Ruault  Image Courtesy Philippe Ruault  Image Courtesy Philippe Ruault  Image Courtesy Philippe Ruault
