Dalsace House (Maison de Verre)

Outline
This townhouse faces a courtyard in the center of Paris. Of the existing three-story building, only the first and second floors were demolished, and the third floor is supported by a steel frame. To ensure light and privacy, a curtain wall made of glass blocks is used for the entire wall facing the courtyard. The standardized dimensions of the blocks coexist with the furniture-like details.
