Maison à Bordeaux by Rem Koolhaas, OMA

Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas of OMA, designed Maison à Bordeaux, a three floor house on a hill overlooking Bordeaux. The house was designed for a couple. Following a car crash the husband became wheelchair-bound and his brief to the architect was clear, ‘I do not want a simple house. I want a complex house, because the house will define my world’. The heart of the house is a 3m by 3.5m elevator platform that moves between the three floors and itself becomes part of the kitchen, living space or an office, giving easy access to books, artwork or a wine cellar. The house was completed in 1998. Photo Hans Werlemann ©OMA. OMA
