Modernist building with 2 apartments + commercial spaces
General atmosphere: From the moment you enter the building, it is clear that this is a special property: calm, orderly, bright, and serene. These keywords characterize the entire house. Very large, carefully designed spaces welcome you. Wide windows that can be opened like accordions frame the colors of the garden perfectly. With its flowering 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 large dining room, which is ready to accommodate a large family, a group of friends, or colleagues. These can already have enjoyed an aperitif in the large interior courtyard or on one of the terraces. When the wide windows are fully opened like accordions, the boundaries between inside and outside disappear definitively, and you can listen to the many birdsong. 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 to achieve this. After the open loft area, a glazed opening leads to a new room with a large, integrated wooden library. Then you reach the large, high parental bedroom with the indispensable closets and bathroom nearby. A large 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 magnificent, modernist, and minimalist building with perfectly balanced masculine and feminine aspects. Viewed from the cul-de-sac, the building with its terraces and its appearance like stacked boxes (painted half gray, half white) presents an enigmatic and austere aspect due to the apparent absence of openings. These have been largely placed southward to offer maximum light and to live sheltered from views. The building integrates perfectly into the neighborhood and presents a discreet aspect 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 goods either in the commercial areas or in the housing (no stairwell on the ground floor). • The exterior aspect of storage boxes is found inside. A multifunctional central block accommodates the 8 built-in closets of the entrance hall, the 8 built-in closets 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 in case of need. 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 windows that can be opened like accordions, 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 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 interior courtyard of 50 m2. The commercial or artisanal areas have an 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): • regularly maintained air-water heat pump. Underfloor heating throughout the building. • solar systems for hot water (hot water supply, washing machine operation) • efficient 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).
