I was 5 years old... I was running across the beach with my arms spread out, pretending to be a plane. I was flying over the land and over the water. I noticed a herd of tiny creatures on the border of the water and the sand, flying over them...
A quarter of a century later... the plane approaches landing on one of the paradise islands somewhere at the end of the world. I cross the shore line. How big should these shrimp from my childhood be to be visible from such height?
Architecture has challenged nature for hundreds of years. Right angle, symmetry, smooth surfaces... Sometimes, however, architects manage to refer to the natural world and interact with it by basing its forms on organics... The Crevette Maison complex is like a garden of flowers blooming at night with many colours reflecting in the ocean... Every house ""lives"", during the day turning, chasing the rays of the sun, and at night opening its walls up like a bud in accordance with the needs of the inhabitant...
The Crevette Maison allows you to live in symbiosis with nature. Thanks to the glass floor in the living room you can observe the marine fauna and the ocean floor, whose proximity can also be experienced by jumping from the terrace into the water through its sliding glass floor... The spans on the terrace can be moved towards the living room allowing a panoramic, uncluttered view of the endless ocean... In the interior, having numerous plants will allow you to create a tropical garden, ensuring you maintain adequate humidity.
The Crevette Maison complex can constitute holiday homes or serve as all-year-round residential houses.
They has been designed to be built in laminated timber, steel and transparent glass fiber laminate.
