The Visan bubble house is now listed as a historical monument by decree of 30 August 2011.

The bubble house concept is developed from years 1960 by architects such as Antti Lovag, Claude Costy and Pascal Häusermann. The house bubble is organic architecture because achievements are in strong relationship with nature, very integrated with their environment. But they differ from the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, their round shapes that evoke the biological organs and not the geometric shapes of the usual or classical architecture. The attraction for curves originated in traditional buildings (huts, cases, caves), and vaults resound with many old architectural styles and contemporary. As the techniques used allow free forms, the bubble house belongs to current architectural sculpture analyzed by Michel Ragon. He noted a "new naturalness" for Jacques Couëlle or is a "new baroque" in the words of Michel Ragon. This type of habitat is the precursor of Blob architecture, it was rare variations in public facilities (multipurpose room and kindergarten in Douvaine) or Hotel (the Museumotel), and inspired home of Barbapapa.

Some of these houses as the House Gaudet, House Butscher Visan and Unal House are classified, listed as historical monuments.
The Butscher House is a 20th century Bulle house, Visan, in the department of Vaucluse.

The Bubble House is an architectural concept dating back to the 1960, it mainly uses the veil of reinforced concrete without formwork. And this one of its design, a double concrete shell on metal reinforcement. Built by two architects in the years 1980 and later restored, it is design that challenges. Round and sober, this remains unusual in more than one surprise and delight the original architecture lovers !

Techniques

The veil of reinforced concrete without formwork is invented by Pascal Häusermann who built for his father, in 1959, Villa Dolmen, in Grilly, Ain. The concrete is laid by hand or projected and remains caught in the reinforcement (sometimes decorated fabrics or metal grids). This process will be used for most bubbles houses, its implementation will be developed mainly by Claude Costy then by various self-builders.
