After last week’s announcement that the Le Corbusier-designed Maison Planeix in Paris is on the market for the first time, this week’s House of the Week is located immediately behind. Completed in 1995, this home/studio was designed by the French architecture practice AUA Paul Chemetov. The three-part building comprises of two dwellings and an office for the practice itself. The latter is the adjoining glass and glass-brick addition, reminiscent of Pierre Chareau’s famous modernist Parisian house Maison de Verre (1932), to the side of the refurbished period house. One entrance to the office is via the bridge link, with circulation passing through the piano nobile of the house. Distinguishing features of the addition include expansive and open floor plates as well as rain chain guttering. The architect Paul Chemetov was born in Paris in 1928 and was one of the best-known architects during the Mitterand era, designing buildings such as the Ministère des finances headquarters on the Seine in Bercy.
