4 Maison de Verre Rue Saint-Guillaume Paris Interior designer Chareau joined efforts with licensed architect Bernard Bijvoet to design what would be part gynological clinic for Dr Dalsace and part private residence for the doctor and his wife, Annie The remarkable Maison de Verre (glass house) was inserted into an existing building and is one of the greatest houses of the International Style, adding materials the movement had never used before in such an extent to create a work of architectural genius -- a structure that is fully functional and fully aesthetic in its simplicity The steel frame allowed for complete freedom of internal space The glass block wall itself, is able to stand alone without a heavy frame breaking its pattern Ventilation through the glass block wall is provided by a series of movable traps A not-so-complicated weight and pulley system opens the window panels, allowing for natural ventilation This unique system causes a minimum of visual impact on the glass facade of the structure Floor area/size m² Main designer, Pierre Chareau Bernard Bijvoet docteur Dalsace Michael_Noordam The house is still inhabited by the grandchild of the original client The Maison de verre is open for a limited number of visits by appointment Group visits for schools of architecture are given priority The visits will be organized on Fridays at 2 and 3:30PM and are limited to a maximum of 10 people per group Language: English Duration: 1,5 hours Costs: 20,- pp for teachers/students; 40,- pp for other visitors For more info and reservations: mdv31@orangefr Métro : 12, Rue du bac 4
