General atmosphere:

From the moment you enter the house, it is clear that calmness, order, light, and serenity prevail. These keywords characterize the entire house. Very large, carefully designed spaces welcome you. Wide windows that can be opened like accordions perfectly frame the colors of the garden. With its flowering meadow, blooming fruit trees, Japanese maples, magnolias, roses, and peonies. At other times, shutters diffuse their delicate shadow and light effects on the white floors and walls. A large, white, and minimalist kitchen opens up to the immense dining room, ready to welcome a large family, a crowd of friends, or colleagues. Who may have already had an aperitif in the large courtyard or on one of the terraces. When the wide windows are fully open, the boundaries between inside and outside disappear, and you can listen to the numerous bird songs. Yes, because like a Japanese dwelling, this house turns towards its own inner peace and forgets the more turbulent events of the outside world. Everything has been done and staged to achieve this. Beyond the open loft space, a glass front opens up to a new room with a large, integrated wooden bookshelf. Then, you pass to the large and high parental bedroom with its indispensable dressing rooms and bathroom nearby. An immense room (35 m) could accommodate children who share the space. Fixed or modular partitions could also be installed. And why not combine private and professional life? Spaces with separate entrances (or not) allow you to do so. As for the 2 1/2 room apartment on the first floor, you can use it for your own needs (friends, family, teenagers) or rent it out.

Aesthetic and sunny aspects:

This is a sumptuous, modernist, and minimalist architect's villa with perfectly balanced masculine and feminine aspects.

From the cul-de-sac, the building with its terraces and the appearance of stacked boxes (painted half in gray, half in white) presents an enigmatic aspect due to the apparent absence of openings. These have been judiciously placed mostly to the south to offer maximum light and to live sheltered from views. The building integrates perfectly into the neighborhood and presents a discreet aspect when seen from above.

Views:

It is possible to glimpse the Alps and the vineyard slopes from both the windows and the garden on the ground floor and from the terrace of the first-floor apartment.

Aesthetic and practical aspects:

• The building offers an incomparable practical life. An access road allows you to deposit any goods either in the commercial spaces or in the house (no stairs on the ground floor).

• The exterior aspect of storage boxes is also found inside. A central multifunctional block accommodates the 8 built-in wardrobes of the entrance hall, the 8 built-in wardrobes of the kitchen, a guest toilet, and a small storage room. This block still contained the staircase leading to the first floor before the creation of the second apartment and could be reestablished if needed. Nowadays, a staircase leads to both the first-floor apartment and its beautiful wooden terrace with a view.




• The sliding shutters offer thermal comfort in all seasons. The wide windows that can be opened like accordions, over 6 meters wide, open up completely to the sunny garden.

Surfaces:

For fans of Feng Shui, the perfectly flat plot of 1,200 m2 presents a perfect rectangle. It is fully protected from views or intruders by hedges or fences.

The ground-floor apartment has a surface area of 245 m2 with two terraces totaling 48 m2, an interior courtyard of 50 m2. The commercial or artisanal spaces have a surface area of 56 m2. The first-floor apartment spans 90 m2 with a 30 m2 terrace.

Energy performance:

It is remarkable and allows for real savings (CECB with grade B obtained in 2025):

• regularly maintained air-water heat pump. Underfloor heating throughout the house.




• solar sanitary panels (hot water supply, washing machine supply)




• high-performance insulation of the building envelope

Construction and renovation dates:

Construction: 2009. Main renovations in 2021: creation of an apartment on the first floor and significant renovations on the ground floor (reorganization of spaces, creation of new openings, and a bathroom).
