Project 3- Maison en Bord de Mer


Eileen Gray's Maison en Bord de Mer (1027)
It is a small villa built by Eileen Gray, and she used many ways to make the villa feeling larger than it was.
She expanded the corridor, and made the two walls didn't connect to the ceiling in the living room which made the area spacious. She also put the gorden area into her design, so the whole site including buulding becomes one. An outdoor kitchen extended the space of the villa.
She also made a good circulation in 1027. Two external staircases, one main entrance and one spiral internal staircase can go into the first floor. A double corridor in front of the main entrance to allow people to go two parts of the building.
