house #50930

This house in France was selected by the AIA as one of the best houses of 2012.

Hooray.

Here is all of modern architecture in one description: The sheet of glass framed by steel and concrete.
For the residential experience, it will always seem novel, so long as the anointed design star of the moment injects some trim detail, preferably natural, preferably "green," and always labor intensive, unless it's prefabricated and deliberately cheap and shoddy.

I secretly want to do this someday.
