Maison Unal, Modernist residential structure in Chapias, France
The Maison Unal features connected spherical sections built directly on rock formations, integrating natural elements into its concrete shell construction.
Construction of this family residence began in 1973 under architect Claude Haüsermann-Costy's guidance, with significant contributions from painter Joël Unal through 1990.
The residence demonstrates the fusion of architectural innovation and personal artistry through its organic forms and integrated furniture design solutions.
Visitors need direct permission from the property owners to access this private residence, which received historical monument status in 2010.
The building process utilized a specialized concrete shell technique without traditional formwork, allowing for the creation of fluid, rounded spaces.
