Métropole House by Jean Prouvé was built for a competition held by France’s Ministry of Education in 1949, to create a “mass-producible rural school with classroom and teacher accommodation”. The teacher’s house was an all-steel structure, with an aluminium facade, a wooden interior and a glassed in winter garden. Images: Galerie Patrick Seguin
