The site near Saint-Dié is to the southeast of the city of Nancy, where Prouvé had built his own family home some years earlier.

Finding a wheelchair accessible home in New York City can be a challenge, but after a diving accident left David Carmel paralyzed from the waist down, Carmel knew he was looking for a home that was "accessible but not institutional."
