An angular exterior surrounds the minimalist interior of this house in France

Architecture firm Karawitz have designed this modern angular house on a tree-lined street in a small community close to Paris, France.

In a neighborhood where high fences have been used to isolate each house, this house does the opposite, it’s more open to the street, allowing passers-by to look into the garden through the perforated galvanized-steel fence.

The garden and carport that run underneath the house, help to make the house appear to be floating above the land.

The carport provides access to the home and allows for firewood to be stored. Steps at the rear of the carport lead to the backyard.

Inside, storage has been hidden underneath the concrete and steel stairs. A small window half way up the stairs lets natural light in to brighten the space.

Throughout the prefabricated home, raw materials like steel and concrete, have been left exposed to create a sense of authenticity.
