Unique French Greenhouse Home for a Young Family

 architecture

Architects Hérard & da Costa have created a casual industrial chic barn home for a young family near in Neuville-sur-Seine.

The children have the unusual experience of growing up in a home that feels more like an industrial nursery garden than a house.

The entire length of one side is enclosed in a generous earth-floored porch of polycarbonate sheeting.

This generous unheated porch area can be open or closed for outdoor play even on rainy days.

On the other side the barn-like building is clad in soft and warm corrugated fibro cement.

This material echoes the farm buildings nearby but also continues the corrugation of the clear polycarbonate.

A kids pool for summer fun has a no nonsense feel to it.

Inside, a glass clerestory window to the central roof peak separates the heated living space from the porch side.

This living area is heated, unlike the enclosed porch side.

The family bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs along a sky way corridor.

Throughout, the home has an unconventional but child-friendly vibe.
