FABRE/deMARIEN architects found an interesting solution to create another masterpiece. Where do the daily sources of inspiration come from, drawing ideas, Forum City is left to guess.
In the city of Bordeaux, France, in 2012, the construction of of an unusual detached house, Measuring 210 square meters, it is an extraordinary house in France. . The brick facade wall facing the street acts as a filter, a protection or a barrier between the hectic city life and the calm and orderly life. Sunlight enters through special small holes in the wall.
On the opposite side of the building another world opens up: a large green lawn, a long swimming pool crossing the garden and trees cleansing the air and bringing freshness into the room.
Thanks to the huge (20 m wide).) fully glazed sliding doors give access to an open-air recreation area in the courtyard. As the main finishing materials Concrete, brick, and glass were used. Two stories connected by a spiral staircase.
The minimalist and retro style of the interior makes the rooms look cosy and spacious, without unnecessary details or extra accessories.

I’m really intrigued by the Ecole Normale designed by FABRE/deMARIEN architects in France. Can anyone provide more information about its unique features and architectural style? How does it integrate sustainability and eco-friendly design principles?
