House V_17 by Emma Weiss Architecte + Lydéric Veauvy (TANK)
Marcq-en-Barœul, France
The clients wanted a family home that would also include an architecture studio with a separate entrance. Their request involved a stimulating contradiction: reconciling a house set within a garden with a multi-storey, terraced urban dwelling. They were keen to preserve the harmony between landscaped, nature-oriented spaces and the continuity of volumes that had defined their former living environment.
The architects drew inspiration from the ‘bel-étage’ style home—an emblematic feature of the neighborhood—to propose a typological reinterpretation that harmonizes architecture and nature. Their design approach, guided by the integration of sunlight and the creation of intersecting perspectives, led to a brick structure fragmented into a multitude of folds, angles, planes, projections, and interstices. These elements allow light to enter in various ways and open views toward the surrounding greenery.
Departing from the traditional staircase core, which often compartmentalizes space, and responding to the clients’ desire for fluid continuity between rooms, the architects conceived dynamic, multidimensional spatial relationships between levels. Inspired by the concept of the Raumplan, they designed a unique staircase that links multiple half-levels and spirals around double-height volumes.
The architects paid particular attention to the way architecture interacts with light, multiplying three-dimensional cross-perspectives. Though the house lacked ideal orientation, it curves to follow the sun’s path and draw southern light into its interiors. It folds and opens to let the surrounding vegetation flow into the living spaces, both at the front and the back, enhancing lateral views.
The design of the interiors involved a thoughtful approach to ergonomics, usage, materials, details, and tones—gently reinterpreting the spirit of the traditional bourgeois home and its clever sense of domestic organization.
