In his second
installation that combines art, architecture, and domesticity, Ar. Jean Verville presents a
domestic architectural installation designed for two lovers of contemporary
arts…
The second
installation in the series of three, IN2 integrates an inventive experimentation
in a Montreal cottage of the 50s. Since the home-makers are art and culture aficionados,
Jean exalts the fusion of art and everyday life in a proposal requiring a high
degree of user participation. The architectural intervention blurs the reading
of spaces with volumetric assemblages and visual breakthroughs, contrasts and
tensions, scale games and trompe-l'oeil.

The opposition
between black and white produces optical effects oscillating between reality
and abstraction, where bidimensionality borders on three-dimensionality until
the boundaries between the two notions disappear.

By addressing the
pleasure conveyed by architecture, Jean offers a daily participatory experience
to the occupants of this graphic environment. This architectural journey,
animated by whimsical touches that unload the intervention of the coldness and
seriousness often associated with contemporary architecture, calls for an
experience completely altered by illusion, and this, for the delight of its
owners.

The architect’s
interest lies in the possibilities of hybridization between arts and
architecture and their impact on the architectural creation process. A series
of research stays in Japan, focusing on "Art House Projects", led him
to a reflection on the artistic experience within architecture, which he
continues to pursue.

This home is
spread across 100 sq. m. and uses materiality that ranges from wood, lacquer, paint,
and granite to ceramic tile and mirror. François Bodlet and Stéphane Gimbert collaborate
with Jean Verville on this assignment.
