house within a house

another disused industrial building turned into a cool living space - this old foundry in the south of france has a wooden house built inside it and a beautiful lush indoor garden. the owners wanted the house to feel like a cocoon but also to keep the vast space of the foundry's white walls & huge glass windows.
