Sample flat of THE UNITÉ D’HABITATION


Visited the Palais de Chaillot again at the last day in Paris. Didn't take photos of the sample flat as they nearly closed at the first time i been there. It was so lucky even though didn't go to the original UNITÉ D’HABITATION in Marseilles. Although this is an accommodation which is for families mostly, but, there still some knowledge of space arrangement that i can learn and use in the future.

 
A quite bright living area on the ground floor is created by the double-hight floor. It was fashion at the building's age but can be seen mostly nowadays as it is quite useful and helpful to saving energy and using the natural light. 
  




Bench between living area and the balcony.
A raised kitchen desk.
Simple style staircases - would not stop the lights.  



The storage space in corridor.
The bedroom, could be separate or semi-open area.

  
 
 
Doors can be opened with big angle, I guess the space can be saved in this way.
