[ES] La Maison du Béton, premio Architektur Forum Zwickau 2010, del estudio alemán Atelier st, destaca por su concisa forma facetada, el uso depurado del hormigón blanco en fachada y la consecución de un espacio doméstico articulado. La casa se implanta con autonomía en un entorno urbano difuso, adoptando la imagen de un prisma truncado, reflejo de la construcción monolítica a base de muros y losas de hormigón armado, coincidentes con el orden de plantas y secciones, y la doble cáscara empleada en el cerramiento. El interior aborda la imbricación del espacio horizontal y vertical en solución de continuidad.
