Maison de verre | Glass house (by Pierre CHAREAU)
Maison de Verre (Glass house),
in Paris, France
constructed in 1932
by architect Pierre CHAREAU
visited in December 2011
Simply, this house is the most beautiful house that I’ve ever seen in my life so far.
Elegant but practical. Romantic but innovative. Just brilliant!
If you like design and architecture, you won’t regret to pay 40 euros for the visit.
To bad not to be able to take pictures inside the house.
아주 간단히 말해, 내 생애 최고의 집, maison de verre (메종 드 베르).
우아하나 실용적이고, 낭만적이나 혁신적인…절묘한… 내가 꿈꾸던 그런 집.

We were able to slip into the courtyard to the see the house, but were unable to make the times of the tours work for our time in Paris this past March and April. Definitely worth the effort to schedule better! Congratulations.
Thanks. Hopefully you can make it next time. Try to visit in the late afternoon so that you can see both the facade with and without lighting.
You’re right, the lighting in you photos makes a lot of difference. You’ve inspired me to select some of my photos and post them. Without the inside lighting, the glass is more crystalline.
