Jean Prouvé House, International Style residential building in Nancy, France
The Jean Prouvé House is a residential building in Nancy that spans two levels connected by an external metal staircase. The structure employs industrial materials and prefabricated components to achieve a functional, undecorated design.
The house was built in 1954 and shows the evolution of post-war architectural thinking through its metal construction approach. A workshop pavilion from Maxéville was moved to the garden and rebuilt in 1957.
The house reflects the designer's philosophy of combining living and working spaces in one place. Visitors can see how the workshop area flows naturally into the residential zones.
Access to the house is through guided tours on set days that allow you to see all areas inside and out. The site is compact and easy to walk through.
The metal pavilion in the garden measuring 8 by 8 meters was originally a work building elsewhere and was moved here later. This relocation shows the designer's practical approach to movable structures.
