Jean Nouvel, Sainte-Livrade-sur-Lot, France, 1970-1973

OfHouses presents “Pritzkers’ First Houses”: Jean Nouvel (Pritzker 2008) designed this house at the age of 25, when he was still a student working in the office of Claude Parent and Paul Virillo. The design is obviously influenced by Parent’s research on ‘L'architecture oblique’, a topic Nouvel continued to explore also in his 1974 design for the Maison Delanghe.
