Glass House

Pierre Chareau – Bernard Bijvoet – House of Dr. Jean Dalsace, Paris France, 1927-1931

La Maison de Verre, French for "The Glass House," was built between 1928 and 1932 in Paris, France.
Built in the early modern style of architecture, the house's design emphasized three primary traits: honesty of materials, variable transparency of forms, and the juxtaposition of "industrial" materials and furnishings with a more traditional home decor style. The primary materials used were steel, glass, and glass brick.
Some of the notable “industrial” elements included rubberized floor tiles, bare steel beams, perforated sheet metal, heavy industrial light fixtures, and mechanical devices. 
The project is a collaboration between Pierre Chareau (furniture and interior designer), Bernard Bijvoet (Dutch architect working in Paris since 1927) and Louis Dalbet (metalworker). …………Wikipedia…>>
