Philippe Starck’s New Home is a prefab low energy wooden house

Philippe Starck, one of the most renowned designers of the 21th century, is known by his contemporary furniture designs. Well, and if Starck’s designs may be ahead of his time, the new home prototype developed by himself, to be actually Philippe Starck’s new home will leave you amazed.

Philippe Starck has unveiled a prototype for his latest series of prefabricated low-energy wooden homes – a glazed and aluminium-clad structure outside Paris that he and his wife Jasmine plan to move into.

The Montfort residence is the model for the French designer’s second series of made-to-order houses produced in partnership with Riko, one of the leading European manufacturers of prefabricated wooden buildings.

Named PATH, which stands for Prefabricated Accessible Technological Homes, the collection is made up of four different types of residence – with a total of 34 different floor plans – all designed to consume a third of the energy of a traditional house.
