Perched high up the secluded Butte Bergeyre in the 19th arrondissement, this vertical house dominates Paris.
Perched high up the secluded Butte Bergeyre in the 19th arrondissement, this vertical house dominates Paris. Being able to build a new private home in Paris is a rare opportunity, all the more unique on this very butte, fully integrated within the Parisian cityscape.
The challenge was to settle in a family with four children over seven levels, on a minimal adjoining plot only 4.80 m large. Erected on ten 18-meter-deep micropiles, this 204 square-meter house is a manifesto for vertical living in dense spaces.
This project has been longlisted in the urban house category of Dezeen Awards 2021.
