prefabulous: charlotte perriand beach house
this is a previously unrealised prefab beach-house designed by modernist architect charlotte perriand in 1934. the project was initially conceived for an architecture competition to design cheap holiday lodging, held by french architecture magazine l’architecture d’aujourd’hui. it was never conceived or built until now… by the french “cheap holiday lodging” company louis vuitton. the charlotte perriand la maison au bord de leau by louis vuitton at design miami 2013 is currently located in the beach-side garden at the raleigh hotel on miami’s south beach. by ra+dd
le parc
