31. The ‘Unité d’habitation’ in Marseille – characteristic concrete ‘pilotis’ and polychromatic ‘loggias’ . 76 32. The ‘pilotis’ underneath the ‘Unité d’habitation’ in Marseille – timber imprints on the concrete of the ‘béton brut’ style.
A Sense of Space 33. The sliding partition (doubling as a blackboard) between the two chidren’s bedrooms of an apartment in the ‘Unité d’habitation’ of Rezéles-Nantes. Each apartment is set at a width of around 3.6m, 26 a double height at the front of around 4.5m, and thus a single height of around 2.2m. 27 The two children’s bedrooms, in the back section, are simply formed by the division of the apartment width, making them each only around 1.7m (although the division is operable) 28 – their dimensions being comparable to cabins in an ocean liner. 29 77 78 34. The double height living space with open front allowing natural light into an apartment of the ‘Unité d’habitation’ in Marseille. The level of natural light entering each apartment, however, increased by the double height living space and full height glazing, creates a greater feeling of spaciousness, despite their compact standard dimensions. The open planning of the living, dining and kitchen areas equally allows for a greater sense of space, as the natural light from the front is allowed to penetrate deeper into the apartment.
