Modernist Villa of 2 Apartments + Commercial Spaces
General Ambiance:From the moment you enter, the tone is set: calmness, order, light, and serenity. These keywords are found throughout the house. Very large, rigorously studied 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, white, and minimalist kitchen opens onto the immense dining room, ready to accommodate a large family, a group of friends, or colleagues. They may have already enjoyed 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 resolutely forgets the more agitated 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 and 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 2.5-room apartment on the first floor, you can use it for your own needs (friends, family, teenagers) or rent it.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 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 southward 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 drop off 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 multifunctional central block accommodates the line of 8 built-in closets in the entrance hall, the 8 built-in closets in 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. Now, 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 an area of 245 m2 with two terraces totaling 48 m2, an inner courtyard of 50 m2. The commercial spaces or workshops have an area of 56 m2. The apartment on the first floor spans 90 m2 with a terrace of 30 m2. Energy Performance:It is remarkable and allows for real savings (CECB with a B rating obtained in 2025): • regularly maintained air-water heat pump. Underfloor heating throughout the house. • solar panels for hot water (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 significant renovations on the ground floor (rearrangement of spaces, creation of new openings, and a bathroom).Presentation Brochure: available upon request by emailNota: This description is not contractual.
