The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Créée à partir de 1961 à l'initiative du promoteur Eric Boissonnas, la station de ski de Flaine est liée au nom de l'architecte Marcel Breuer qui dirige l'équipe d'architectes, urbanistes et aménageurs qui la dessine. L'immeuble "Bételgeuse", situé dans le prolongement de l'hôtel "Le Flaine" (voir notice PA00118476) est l'un des premiers immeubles construits dans la station à partir de 1966, et illustre le parti-pris moderne de l'architecte par l'emploi du béton brut, notamment pour les panneaux en pointe de diamant sur lesquels la lumière vient jouer avec les ombres des balcons en forte saillie.

Created from 1961 at the initiative of developer Eric Boissonnas, the Flaine ski station is linked to the name of the architect Marcel Breuer who directs the team of architects, town planners and developers who design it. The building "Betelgeuse", located in the extension of the hotel "Le Flaine" (see notice PA00118476) is one of the first buildings constructed in the station from 1966, and illustrates the architect's modern approach through the use of raw concrete, notably for the diamond-point panels on which light comes to play with the shadows of balconies in strong projection.
