A Swooping Metal Roof Caps a House Set in a Normandy Garden

It’s a sunny morning in Normandy, and the light is beginning to peek through the trees, glimmering across the curved metal roof of Isabelle and Patrice Girard-Donnat’s home. Affectionately dubbed Le Kiosque—a nod to the open-walled structures that dot parks across France—the wood house has large sliding glass doors on either side, both of which are open today. As a breeze wafts in from the surrounding garden, the boundary between inside and out truly begins to fade.
