Architecture models in Palais De Chaillot

  

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.

An Exploration of THE UNITÉ D’HABITATION

Didn't get any contact method to order a visit in  UNITÉ D’HABITATION, in Marseilles.

That would be a pity, didn't have opportunity to visit that well structural accommodation. But gratifyingly, I have been the Palais de Chaillot, got photos of the building model, and also, got a clearly interior structure of the building.

The heaviest trip - with laptop...

See? 

We were in the Palais Du Louvre today. Galleries were clouded but had fun there.

Tried to find anything that maybe valuable for my student accommodation. There were luxury arts and design in old ages, but found some interesting jewellers and a cool structural detailing model!
