Modernist Loft Villa
General atmosphere:From the generous entrance, the tone is set: calmness, order, light, and serenity. These keywords are found throughout the house. Very large, rigorously designed spaces welcome you. Wide accordion windows frame the colors of the garden perfectly. With its flowered meadow, 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, minimalist kitchen opens onto the immense dining room, ready to welcome a large family, a group of friends, or colleagues. Who have already been able to enjoy an aperitif in the large courtyard or on one of the terraces. When the wide accordion windows are completely open, the boundaries between inside and outside are definitively broken, and you can listen to the many 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 bay opens onto a new room with a large, integrated wooden library. Then, you pass to the large, high parental bedroom with its indispensable dressing rooms and bathroom nearby. A huge room (35 m) could accommodate children who share space. Fixed or modular partitions could also be installed. And why not link 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 impasse street, the building with its terraces and its 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 south to offer maximum light on the one hand and to be able 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 apartment on the first floor.Aesthetic and practical aspects: • The building offers an incomparable practical life. An access road allows you to deposit any goods either in the commercial premises or in the dwelling (no step at the ground floor). • The exterior aspect of storage boxes 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. Nowadays, a staircase leads both to the apartment on the first floor and to its beautiful wooden terrace with a view. • The sliding shutters offer thermal comfort in all seasons. The wide accordion windows, which are more than 6 meters wide, open completely onto the sunny garden. Surfaces:For fans of Feng Shui, the perfectly flat plot of 1,200 m2 presents a perfect rectangle. It is entirely protected from views or intruders by hedges or fences.The apartment on the ground floor has a surface area of 245 m2 with two terraces totaling 48 m2, an interior courtyard of 50 m2. The commercial or artisanal premises have a surface area of 56 m2. The apartment on the first floor spans 90 m2 with a terrace of 30 m2. Energy performance:They are remarkable and allow for real savings (CECB with grade B obtained in 2025) • air-water heat pump regularly maintained. Underfloor heating throughout the building. • solar panels for hot water supply (hot water supply, washing machine power) • 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 major renovations on the ground floor (reorganization of spaces, creation of new openings, and a bathroom).Presentation brochure: available upon request by emailNB: this description is not contractual.
