Architecture - Construction - Design - Housing

Mar. 02 December 16th, 1970 Trying to solve a space problem The parents of baby Sarah Lachat live in a very expensive but small apartment in Geneva. And with limited space available, Sarah father, Marcel Lachat had an idea for enlargement. He built and egg-shaped bubble of polyester material, weighing 660 lbs and had it fixed, following a certificate of safety from experts, to the front window of his second-storey flat, and his wife made it into a baby room for little Sarah. But, there was a snag. Police Superintendent Jacques Bory said that it would have to be removed. Photo Shows: The interior of the igloo which Marcel Lachat had fixed to the front of his second-story flat in Geneva
