Maison Bressac

House · by Muchir Férid · 1949

37-38 cours François-Palmarole, Perpignan, France

This house exemplifies various architectural themes favored by Férid Muchir, including a wide-open quarter-circle rotunda, an exterior staircase, and an entrance porch leading to the front courtyard. It showcases the architect's syncretic style, blending modernist, picturesque, and regional influences. The prominent beam of the awning contrasts with the modern design of the rotunda. Notably, the reference to Catalan tradition is striking, particularly in the exposed chimney flue flanked by two windows, inspired by a project from E. Mas-Chancel, a staunch advocate of regionalism, for the 1937 International Exposition in Paris.
