Modernist Loft Villa
General atmosphere:From the moment you enter the house, it is clear that this is a special property: calmness, order, light, and serenity characterize the entire home. These keywords are found in every room. Very spacious, carefully designed areas welcome you. Large accordion-style windows 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 accommodate a large family, a host of friends, or colleagues. They may have already enjoyed an aperitif in the large courtyard or on one of the terraces. When the large accordion-style windows are fully open, the boundaries between indoors and outdoors disappear, and you can listen to the many bird songs. Yes, because like a Japanese house, this house turns to its own inner peace and forgets the more turbulent events of the outside world. Everything has been done and staged to achieve this. After the open loft area, a glass front opens up to a new room with a large, built-in wooden library. Then, you move to the large and high parental bedroom with the indispensable dressing rooms and bathrooms nearby. A huge 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 solar aspects:This is a stunning, modernist, and minimalist architect's villa with perfectly balanced masculine and feminine aspects.From the cul-de-sac, the building presents itself with its terraces and its appearance like stacked boxes (painted half in gray, half in white) in an enigmatic way, due to the apparent absence of openings. These have been judiciously placed on the south side to offer maximum light and to live sheltered from views. The building integrates perfectly into the neighborhood and presents a discreet appearance when viewed from above.Views:It is possible to see the Alps and the vineyard slopes from both the windows and the garden on the ground floor and from the terrace of the apartment on the first floor.Aesthetic and practical aspects: • The building offers an incomparable, practical life. An access road allows you to drop off any goods either in the annexes or in the house (no stairs on the ground floor). • The exterior storage box style is also found inside. A multifunctional central block houses 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 reinstalled if needed. Now, a staircase leads to both the apartment on the first floor and its beautiful, wooden terrace with a view. • The sliding shutters provide thermal comfort in all seasons. The large, accordion-style windows, over 6 meters wide, open 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 apartment on the ground floor has an area of 245 m2 with two terraces totaling 48 m2, an inner courtyard of 50 m2. The annexes have an area of 56 m2. The apartment on the first floor covers 90 m2 with a terrace of 30 m2. 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 systems for hot water (hot water supply, washing machine operation) • efficient insulation of the building envelope Construction and renovation dates:Construction year: 2009. Main renovations in 2021: creation of an apartment on the first floor and significant renovations on the ground floor (rearrangement of spaces, creation of new openings, and a bathroom).Presentation brochure: available upon request by emailNote: This description is not contractual.
