Modernist Architecture - 1981 - B. Champagnat

Property Description

Exclusive - This discreet architecture by Bernard Champagnat is located in a preserved area of Hossegor, immersed in nature. Built in a dominant position in the 1980s on a 2200m2 plot planted with pines and cork oaks, the architect's objective was to preserve the site intact in order to invite nature to flourish in the middle of this built environment. Inspired by the modernist movement and the concept of a bi-nuclear house imagined by the famous architect Marcel Breuer, the villa follows a single-story configuration composed of two separate cores, with reception rooms on one side and rest rooms on the other. The link between these two volumes is a largely glazed entrance where the boundaries between the exterior and the interior are blurred, and natural light penetrates without constraint. The reception room offers a spectacular volume of 90m2 with beautiful high ceilings, and whose reading of the space suggests a dining room, an open equipped kitchen, a relaxation lounge and the essential fire pit which invites you to enjoy a sublime fireplace. The night space houses 3 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms, Wc, and numerous carpentry fittings designed in exotic wood. The presence of raw materials such as wood in different species, Vaugirard brick, enameled earthenware, as well as custom-made furniture, contribute to the cozy and warm atmosphere. The whole is adorned with large terraces partially covered by the extension of the roofs ensuring the interior/exterior link for each of the rooms. A garage in the basement with a surface area of 90m2 with storeroom and its shower for returning from the beach completes the whole. Bernard Champagnat's architecture is connected to nature, displaying a perfect balance between solid and transparent volumes, the weight of the concrete walls, and the lightness of the roof design. This remarkable villa, just 4 km from the ocean beaches, is a unique property, still owned by the original family.
