Contemporary Architecture - 1975 - M.Rousseau

Property Description

ARCHITECTURE AS THE ART OF LIVING

A few minutes from Bayonne, in the heart of a confidential setting where nature dictates the rhythm of the seasons, this 1970s architect-designed villa sits within one of the finest expressions of residential modernism.

Set within a tree-lined park of nearly 2,900 m2, fully buildable, the property benefits from a rare vegetal crown where every opening dialogues with the landscape. Here, the volumes recede behind the trees, leaving space for light, perspectives, and a true sense of intimacy.

From the outset, the architecture asserts its identity. The taut roof lines, wide eaves, immaculate facades punctuated by wood, inverted level changes, and long corridors recall the contemporary achievements of the 1970s, where functionality and elegance became one.

Inside, spaces organize around a generous reception room largely open to the south-facing garden thanks to impressive glass walls. The border between interior and exterior disappears to offer a daily life bathed in light.

The original materials have been carefully preserved: majolica, sculptural suspended staircase, graphic latticework, crossing volumes… so many signatures that give this house timeless personality.

The layout remains remarkably current: a vast living room opening onto terraces, independent kitchen, four bedrooms with their own water point, a family bathroom of generous dimensions, an independent office ideal for professional activity or an artist’s studio, a garage and numerous storage spaces.

Think decades ahead, this villa also offers an exceptional capacity for evolution. Its volumes, its qualitative structure and its buildable land allow for different projects, whether a contemporary architectural renovation or a perfectly integrated extension.

Outside, the garden becomes a true extension of the living space. Covered terraces invite outdoor living for a large part of the year, while mature trees create a changing scenery offering calm, shade, and privacy.

This property will thrill architecture lovers of the 1970s, families seeking generous spaces, or enthusiasts eager to unlock the full potential of a house whose architectural fundamentals are particularly remarkable.

More than a house, a work of architecture reinvented with respect. (4.88% gross commission payable by the buyer.)
