Description
Designed in 1988 by architect André Stern, this modernist villa of 346 m2, set like an inhabited sculpture on a 6,000 m2 park, unfolds its geometric wings in the green core of Trois-Lucs.
Conceived on a star-shaped plan, the building was designed to capture the sun as much as possible. Ribbed concrete, glass blocks, portholes, roof overhangs, curved and straight lines give rhythm to its architecture.
From the moment you enter, the symmetry of the lines and the perspectives define the space. At its center, a circular, enveloping living room is arranged around an open fireplace beneath a magnificent glass roof, a skylight. The walls are entirely glazed with floor-to-ceiling aluminum frames, concentrating the light and blurring the boundary between inside and outside. The space extends outdoors with a wooden terrace followed by a rounded infinity pool. The dining room occupies a separate, more intimate room and leads to the kitchen, which also opens onto the garden.
In the left wing, an office space and a master bedroom with dressing room and private bathroom are suspended above the garden.
The sleeping quarters are located on the lower level and comprise four bedrooms, all facing the cool garden, which share a bathroom. A relaxation area with a sauna and ample storage space complete this level.
Outside, the garden surrounding the house houses a tennis court, a pétanque court and a parking area discreetly nestled in the omnipresent vegetation.
A unique work, to be inhabited.
