Maison Phénix New Age, ENSAPLV Paris, in cooperation with Elise Ankri [2004]
‘Maison Phénix’ is the biggest promoter for prefabricated individual houses in France. We were supposed to design a ‘Maison Phénix New Age’, which keeps the structural system of the original Phénix house, but provokes a new way of life.
The proposed design is based on a standard house, which will be transformed in a quite simple, but radical way. Half of each room is pushed outside the house.
In this way a supplementary garden room is created, while inside the plan has become more open and spacious. Every room has now its own garden and a private access.
The project has been selected for further studies by the Phénix Company.
