The architectural theme of Maison Air et Lumière revolves around natural light and ventilation. Carefully-positioned facade and roof windows bring in sunlight from all directions to bathe the interior with a balanced, natural glow. The windows also fill the space with fresh air to ensure a comfortable living environment all year long.
The home in Verrières-le-Buisson features one-and-a-half-storeys and 130 m² of floor space. The levels are integrated in the slope of the lot, creating an intermediate floor between the ground level and top floor. The home’s innovative modular concept is what makes this type of site integration possible.
Maison Air et Lumière’s modular concept makes it is suitable for a wide range of environmental and architectural contexts, such as an urban setting, the countryside or a mountainous region. The roof pitch and position are adjustable according to the home’s orientation and location, and the number of modules can also be varied.
This flexible approach makes it possible to build both large and small homes everywhere that emphasise comfortable living, energy efficiency and environmental awareness.
