We continue to introduce you to the The most extraordinary houses in the world, And the Lapo House can rightly be classified as such. This unique structure was created by Florent Lesaulnier who was inspired by an interview with Lapo Elkann in The New York Times.
If Lapo himself is a fashion hooligan whose credo is to be himself, then Florent Lesanlierās creation also defies the boundaries of architectural design. In this project, everything seems unexpected: its location, shape and appearance, structure and workmanship.
A framework of metal beams and porticos, spaced 6 meters apart, support the floor and roof.
From the outside the structure looks harsh, especially since it is painted in khaki colors, and the shape is strictly rectangular, enlivened only by a round exit on the roof of the house.
Upon entering this dwelling, the visitor will be amazed to find 372 square feet of open space.m, not separated by any partition or intermediate supporting points. The buildingās infrastructure provides the necessary atmosphere and access to electrical networks and data cables anywhere in the building.
And even if youāve gotten the hang of the interior space, thereās still one more shock waiting for you. The thing is that the framework of the building is built in the shape of letter C and as a consequence one of the sides of the original homes Doesnāt have a wall.
Note the exterior finish, reminiscent of a leather cloak thrown casually over the building, which can be removed at the ownerās discretion. And then a translucent structure made of steel beams and white partitions, with a round aperture in the ceiling and a big pool is in front of you.
