S+arck House

Check out this cool house building kit by Philippe Starck.

"The wooden box contains the general plan of the house and its components on a scale of 1:50, with and without canopy, with additional 150 m² floor space (ground floor, first floor, roof, two sections and all four facades), detailed plans on a scale of 1:50 for the ground woodwork, principles of woodworking (beams and joists, insulation, flooring and parquet), roofing woodwork, exterior construction work (windows on the four facades and plans for electrical wiring, heating and plumbing), a site checklist, a video showing the various stages of construction, commented by Philippe Starck, a step-by-step site management notebook, a blank notebook for the client's own comments, a hammer to symbolize the labour of building a house and a French flag for the topping out ceremony. The plans for the house, which can be customized, were drawn up by designer Patrick Bouchain and architects L. Juliene and J.M. Mandon. Needless to say, implementation of the project calls for skilled workers, official planning permission and adaptation to the site for local conditions."
