Description
Contemporary architecture, this superb 180 m2 house of brutalist inspiration built in 2010 by the Parisian architectural firm A + Samueldelmas around three patios, blends into the slope of its 656 m2 plot perfectly landscaped with terraces, swimming pool and outbuilding. Located 20 km from the center of Paris and close to the business centers of Massy or the Saclay plateau, it benefits from a rural environment in the village of Saulx les Chartreux.
Awarded the Archinovo Architecture Prize in 2013, it takes advantage of the slope of its land to slide into the ground, limiting its visual impact on the landscape. Patios, roof terraces, overhangs, and changes in ceiling height tend to reveal a compact initial volume designed as a combination of empty and full spaces. Since the house is insulated from the outside, the black lacquered aluminum joinery is positioned on the exterior of the facade, revealing simple and refined volumes.
Its open plan with three patios is designed to maximize light. Its precise organic design offers each of its two levels bordered by terraces or patios pure lines and overlapping volumes. The discreet entrance behind an anthracite plaster facade reveals the intimate and ultra-contemporary place with a first volume of a living room where a concrete formwork wall and ivory waxed concrete floor are revealed, leading to a splendid staircase in raw light gray concrete and a kitchen area with pure lines with its island and Corian worktop.
On this level, the parental space, still clad in concrete formwork walls, benefits from a concrete gray and ivory bathroom opening onto a second patio with an indoor and outdoor shower.
On the first floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom again open onto a through green patio and a mineral terrace leading to the garden and pool area. A side staircase also connects these levels to the terraces and garden, further enhancing accessibility and connection between the different living spaces.
Carefully designed, the garden offers a swimming pool area and perfectly respects the pure and contemporary lines of the architecture of the house: low walls and wooden and anthracite stairs, lawn, grasses and gently sloping paths punctuate the landscape.
A charming outbuilding of approximately 20 m2, perfectly convertible, offers a rural view of the upper garden.
Three parking spaces, a bicycle storage room and service areas complete this property
An aesthetic and intimate architecture sculpted into the slope and perfectly contemporary.
