The flake house, a nomadic, road-gauged dwelling, has been conceived to clad the places wherever it lands, as to transpose theses in an unusual vision. A poetical shelter, a \u201cfolie\u201d, that merges low-tech and hi-tech. The interior finish is smooth and stripped down as to contrast with the traditional look of the external\u00a0 log cladding.
\nOLGGA sets-up its flake house on the Festival Estuaire 2009 \u00e0 Nantes. Created in 2006 for the competition \u201cPetites machines \u00e0 habiter\u201d held by the\u00a0 CAUE 72, OLGGA\u2019 proposal for this nomadic wooden shelter is based on the concept of the \u00abfolie\u00bb, where the wooden structure is broken in two halves establishing a radical spatial boundary while materializing an unexpected entry sequence.
\nAn object, recalling a broken branch, whose unconventional scale is the main idea of the project: to be built-up, taken down, moved, put down, left behind\u00a0 or taken along, inhabited or left to it\u2019s surrounding. First a short-listed entry in the competition that gave birth to the concept, then winner of the \u201cLauriers de la construction bois\u201d of the Salon du Bois in Grenoble in 2007, the flake house cause curiosity and desire.
\nThis year, it is in Nantes that it will lay home between the 5 june and 16 august at the Festival Estuaire Nantes\/St Nazaire organized by the Lieu Unique. The Flake house will be located on the site of Frossay (Le Carnet). I.C.I.! (Instant Carnet Island) is a temporary refuge of micro-architectures and light habitat meeting based on the bank of the Loire and open to anybody.
\nAt the end of the festival, the flake house will find a new owner… The units will be on auction via internet.<\/p>\n
