There’s a rural region in northern France on the coast of the English Channel known as Senneville-sur-F\u00e9camp. In this region, Paris architect Antonin Ziegler was hired to make a 645 square foot addition to an old stone home. Its name is Cliffs Impasse and it’s a two floor structure with a library up top and garage on the bottom.<\/p>\n

Its exterior employs plywood blackened by pine tar, a weatherproofing material. Untreated ply was used for the interior. Large windows are on three of its four sides.<\/p>\n

I’ve never been a fan of flat roofs fearing inadequate drainage would lead to leaks and decay. I’ll assume there are systems in place to sufficiently manage the water.<\/p>\n

Visually, from some angles, a strange combination, the old with the new; from the back it works. Too drab on the outside for my tastes. Despite that, from the inside, a beautiful reading room conveniently attached to the home with a nice, expansive view of the yard. Extensive library, warm beverage, biscotti. Nice Sunday.<\/p>\n
