General atmosphere:

From the moment you enter the building, 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 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 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 interior courtyard or on one of the terraces. When the wide accordion windows are fully open, the boundaries between inside and outside are definitively broken, and you can listen to the many birdsongs. Yes, because this house is like a Japanese home, turning towards its own inner peace and forgetting the more turbulent events of the outside world. Everything has been done to achieve this. Beyond the open loft space, a glass front 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 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 sunny aspects:

This is a sumptuous, modernist, and minimalist building 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 gray, half white) presents an enigmatic and austere aspect, due to the apparent absence of openings. These have been judiciously placed southward to offer maximum light on the one hand and to live sheltered from views on the other. 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 annexes or in the house (no threshold in the ground floor).

• The exterior aspect of storage boxes is also found inside. A multifunctional central block accommodates 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 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 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 ground-floor apartment has a surface area of 245 m2 with two terraces totaling 48 m2, an interior courtyard of 50 m2. The annexes have a surface 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 building.

• solar panels for hot water (hot water supply, washing machine operation)

• 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 (reorganization of spaces, creation of new openings, and a bathroom).
