California-Inspired Villa

Property Description

Exclusive to Limonest | Signed by a renowned Lyon-based architectural firm, this contemporary 365 m² property offers a rare approach to living where architecture, light, and landscape constantly converse. Built with a full-concrete structure and uncompromising construction, it engaged some of the most respected artisans in their field to achieve a level of execution that is particularly remarkable. Every detail, every material, and every volume have been conceived with absolute standards. At first glance, the architecture reveals its ambition. A spacious 68 m² garage is complemented by an elegant double carport crowned by a spectacular circular oculus piercing the concrete slab. A true outdoor architectural sculpture, this emblematic element immediately signals the project’s level of rigor and sophistication. The inverted layout reveals, on the first level, three bedrooms open to the landscape. Between pervasive greenery, unobstructed perspectives, and views of Fourvière in the background, each space maintains a privileged connection with its natural surroundings. Two bathrooms complete this level. A staircase with clean lines then leads to the heart of the house. Developing nearly 80 m², the reception area impresses with its volumes, fluidity, and total openness to the terraces. Organized around a remarkable landscaped patio, the project’s spine, the house benefits from omnipresent light that accompanies every space throughout the day. Exceptional floor-to-ceiling joinery with minimalist profiles erase the boundaries between indoors and outdoors and naturally extend the living spaces onto the terraces, the landscaped patio, and the surrounding landscape. The Modulnova kitchen, enhanced by an imposing nearly six-meter ceramic worktop and fully integrated V-Zug appliances, harmoniously dialogues with the reception areas. The materials chosen from the finest Italian houses, integrated furniture, and finishes testify to a level of execution rarely encountered. On this same level are two independent offices as well as a spectacular 52 m² master suite designed as a true private suite. The lower level houses a private cinema room, a gym, and a space conceived to accommodate a custom wine cellar, offering yet more possibilities for layout. Outside, the landscaping work is a crucial component of the architectural project. The carefully selected plant species create an elegant and soothing atmosphere around the expansive terraces and the remarkable tiled infinity pool, perfectly integrated with the whole. Double-flow ventilation, low-energy underfloor heating, home automation, comprehensive security, and cutting-edge equipment complete this exceptional ensemble. A rare architectural achievement on the Lyon market, where design quality, meticulous detail, and execution excellence speak for themselves without showiness.
