The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Au début des années 1960, Christian Sterckeman, fabricant de caravanes, rencontre Paul Chemetov, qui avait déjà conçu pour lui des locaux et magasins à Seclin. L'idée est d'imaginer une maison qui pourrait être construite en série, très bon marché afin d'être accessible à la même clientèle que celle des caravanes. L'implantation se fait au milieu des champs et la construction est en matériaux industriels bruts (parpaings, acier, béton) , dans l'esprit des recherches de Jean Prouvé, et pouvant servir de modèle commercial. La maison comporte un seul niveau de plan carré, s'organisant autour d'un noyau central regroupant les services. L'aspect extérieur est rude, mais l'intérieur est rendu plus chaleureux par la coloration des matériaux selon l'usage des pièces. Les espaces sont modulables.

In the early 1960s, Christian Sterckeman, a caravan manufacturer, met Paul Chemetov, who had already designed premises and shops for him in Seclin. The idea was to imagine a house that could be built in series, very inexpensive to be accessible to the same clientele as that of caravans. The location is in the middle of fields and the construction is in raw industrial materials (concrete blocks, steel, concrete), in the spirit of Jean Prouvé's research, and able to serve as a commercial model. The house comprises a single level of square plan, organized around a central core grouping the services. The external appearance is austere, but the interior is made warmer by the colouring of materials according to the use of the rooms. The spaces are modular.
