The White house France

The white house is a renovated town house located in La Rochelle in France, beneath the skin of a classic stone house of the 18th century. Set in a middle-class neighborhood in a row of terraced houses spanning the entire length of the street. Pierre Antoine of Studio Pierre Antoine Compain aim was to create a contrast between secular heritage of old classic construction making way for innovative and contemporary living within the interior of the dwelling.

The home has been designed to accommodate a French family, a couple and one child for whom Pierre had designed a restaurant in La Rochelle for with a similar design languge.
PAC opened the roof to create a vertical light path, which penetrates deep inside the house bathing the house in natural light. The Corian stairs and a thick glass floors provide the main focal points allowing natural light to fill the house via the opening in the roof which was an ambitious undertaking.

Pierre says, “The owners are now delighted with the result and particularly appreciate the open spaces that allow the family to be together, sometimes in separate areas, but always insight of all.”
