Exterior view: facades. Cars could drive between pillars and the house and unload their passengers without them getting wet if it was raining. The roof level screen provided shelter from the wind. Designed as a weekend country house for a private client. Elevated on pilotis (thin columns) above the surrounding grass. Poissy is a small town in the western suburbs of Paris.
