The architects from Town and Concrete have designed a unique glass-fronted house that fascinates with its special construction. The single-family home in Lyon, France is characterized by its cylindrical shape, which appears imaginative and unique. The Cylinder House consists of cylinders of different sizes, creating an unconventional structure. With his Paris architecture office, Cyril Lancelin designed the glass-front house with a provocative shape as well as other attractive single-family homes. The “Cylinder House” is certainly his most famous project, which the architect will realize in a forest near Lyon by 2019. Houses made of spheres or stairs from the same architectural studio are already a fact.
The cylinder house with itsunique architecturepresents a whole new dimension of construction projects. The unique collection of cylinders creates a wavy and transparent structure, which dissolves the boundaries between interior and exterior space. The cylinders placed next to each other make the glass-fronted house appear larger and the sharp demarcation with the surrounding nature disappear. In this project, the architects' goal was to create a modern single-family home that would fit seamlessly into nature without endangering or harming the trees in the forest.
The modular, cylindrical configuration of theBuilding with glass facadenot only makes a diffuse boundary between interior and exterior space possible, but also allows residents to freely and arbitrarily organize the interior spaces. By positioning the pieces of furniture as desired, homeowners can assign specific uses to the rooms and redefine them again and again. Since there are no defined corridors inside the house, the variable height of the individual glass tubes serves to divide the rooms. The interior of the cylinder house is flooded with light thanks to the large glass fronts. The interior is decorated in a minimalist style and appears simple and elegant. The unconventional shape of the building is combined with practical solutions. Depending on the user's preference, the cylindrical module can be open, half-open or closed.
With their projects, the architects at Town and Concrete present a new, creative and undoubtedly surprising type of architecture. Through such special constructions, new aspects of design and architecture are revealed to us.
