Contemporary Architecture - 1975 - M. Casamayou

Property Description

In a rare, perched and preserved environment, this 1970s architect-designed house gracefully asserts a dominant position, offering a remarkable view that unfolds along the horizon to the mountains.

The interior architecture reveals a singular writing, rhythmically organized by half-levels that structure the spaces and create fluid and lively circulation. The living room, double-height, centers around a fireplace thought of as a firesite, accompanied by a cosy reading corner, conducive to calm and contemplation.

The house is entirely oriented to the exterior. Wide openings frame the landscape and let in abundant natural light, which softly diffuses into each volume, reinforcing a soothing, almost meditative atmosphere.

Developing around 160 m, on the ground floor it offers an open living space with kitchen and dining area, in direct relation with large wooden suspended terraces, real living canvases on the surrounding nature. A bedroom, a bathroom with toilet and a laundry room complete this level.

On the upper floor, the mezzanines host two open-plan office areas overlooking the living room, and distribute three bedrooms as well as a bathroom.

The plot of around 1900 m, on a hilltop, composes a lush vertical garden, where the pool is set in a vantage position, fully benefiting from this shimmering view and the absolute quiet of the place.

A garage completes the ensemble.

A characterful house, the architecture is deliberate, designed as a refuge open to the landscape, where every perspective invites contemplation of nature and the distant hills, in a private and privileged setting. (4.98% including VAT agency fees borne by the purchaser.)
