Villa for intergenerational family with private office
And why not combine private and professional life? The spaces with separate entrances (or not) to the private office make it possible. 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 out. 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, as well as a garden of 500 m2 with its outbuildings. The apartment on the first floor covers 90 m2 with a terrace of 30 m2. The annexes on the ground floor have an area of 56 m2 and an inner courtyard of 50 m2.Aesthetic and sunny aspects: This is a modernist and minimalist architect's villa, with perfectly balanced male and female aspects. From the street, which is a cul-de-sac, the building presents itself with its terraces and its appearance like stacked boxes (painted half gray, half white) as an enigma, because the openings have been carefully placed to the south to offer maximum light 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 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 housing (no step on the ground floor). • The exterior aspect of storage boxes is repeated inside. A multifunctional central block houses the 8 closets of the entrance hall, the 8 closets of the kitchen, a guest toilet, and a small pantry. 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 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 large accordion windows, over 6 meters wide, open completely to the sunny garden. 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 panels 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 major renovations on the ground floor (rearrangement of spaces, creation of new openings and a bathroom). General atmosphere: As soon as you enter, the tone is set: calm, order, light, and serenity. These keywords are found throughout the house. Very large, rigorously designed spaces welcome you. Large accordion windows frame the colors of the garden perfectly. With its flowering meadow, fruit trees, Japanese maples, magnolias, roses, and peonies. At other times, the 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, 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 large accordion windows are completely open, the boundaries between inside and outside are finally broken, and you can listen to the many birdsong. Yes, because like a Japanese house, this house turns to its own inner peace and resolutely forgets the more turbulent events of the outside world. Everything has been done and staged to achieve this. Beyond the open loft space, a bay window opens onto a new room with a large integrated wooden library. Then, you pass to the large and high parental bedroom with its essential dressing rooms and bathroom nearby. A large room (35 m) could accommodate children who share the space. Fixed or modular partitions could also be installed. Presentation brochure: available upon request by email Note: This description is not contractual.
