POG House / NODE architectes

The POG house is located in Arradon, Brittany, France. Brittany is a region with a strong identity because of its language, its gastronomy, its link with the Atlantic Ocean, and its architecture. The traditional architecture, well preserved, is made up of granite houses with small openings protecting from storms and slate roofs, a stone originally produced in the neighboring town of Angers. Nowadays, mass construction, constituting 90% of house construction, is made of concrete blocks coated in white and gable roofs made of stone slate imported from Spain. In addition to these classic characteristics, builders generally add a parallelepipedal volume, imitating the modern architecture of the 1930s by Le Corbusier.
