In response to a competition held be Renault back in 2016 for new automotive-inspired architecture and design, French-based design studio Marchi Architectes won the contest first place entry.

Sited and completed near the french village of Parigny, the project is conceptually driven by a concern for the space and function occupied by cars in urban spaces.

Called the Renault Symbioz House 33, the architects designed a portable home inspired by Renault's concept car, the Symbioz. The home fully integrates the Symbioz, treating it as a natural extension of the spatial aspects of the interior space.
