Located as it is in Gentilly in the vicinity of Paris, on rue Raymond Lefebvre where rows of houses go almost uninterrupted, this little detached house stands out. The interval separating it from the next building allows for a nice view on the Bièvre valley and its towers, providing a frontal framing for this fragmented cityscape, thus creating an unexpected confrontation in this quiet, almost rural suburban atmosphere. The gap creates a break on this promontory overlooking the urban landscape and elicits the surprising impression of a perch above the street which otherwise looks like a continuous ribbon of house façades. The architecture in the neighbourhood is rather diverse, composed of buildings and houses that nevertheless are all relatively low. Un minuscolo appartamento di Madrid.

Tokyo's vertical thresholds #2: Ryue Nishizawa. Compared to the "public" aspect of the Shibaura Building by Kazuyo Sejima, the private residences by Ryue Nishizawa and Sou Fujimoto presented here pertain to opposite spheres of the urban context.
The first is the four-storey home that Ryue Nishizawa designed on a tiny urban lot in response to his "business-partner" clients' desire to live in the city centre, close to the places where they conduct their business in the world of writing and publishing. Wedged between two tall buildings and invisible from the main road, the narrow Nishizawa building insists on maintaining its confidentiality via an array of plants and flower vases that screens it from the gaze of passers-by. It might easily be mistaken for some sort of mysterious vertical garden. However, here, to pass from one "moment" to another, it is necessary to use the stairs, which run the entire height of the building passing through clean, precise and unfinished holes formed in concrete slabs.
