CHROMA

Renovated and extended in 2015, the house is the result of a collaboration between architect Denis Latour and the owners, who are lovers of contemporary art. The project's approach was to open up the layout as much as possible to allow air and light to flow through the space and open onto the garden. Behind a beautiful blond stone facade, the entrance is arranged around a custom-made piece of furniture that serves as a wardrobe on one side and an office on the other, before revealing the impressive volume of the living room. This one, with its double height under the eaves and its set of roof windows, benefits from generous zenithal light that captures the sun from East to West. The space, entirely through, is free of any partition and creates in its length a fluid succession of functions - from the office to the living room, to the dining room - which, with the kitchen, are articulated around the exterior thanks to an entirely glazed L-shaped facade. The white kitchen, adorned with a quartz worktop and a frosted glass splashback, discreetly disappears along a wall, allowing the gaze to be drawn towards the garden. The corner bay windows open completely, erasing the boundaries between interior and exterior. Fully retracted, they transform the kitchen bar into a convivial table for al fresco meals in fine weather. From the living room, a steel mezzanine lightly divides the volume, almost imperceptible thanks to its black ironwork guardrail. A staircase with metal steps anchored in the wall leads upstairs, where a multipurpose space overlooks the living room and serves a guest bedroom with an open shower room. Equipped with custom-made oak storage, the ground-floor bedrooms are accessible from the living room. A first bedroom with its private shower room benefits from independent access via a reception garden to the west, while on the garden side, the master suite extends naturally towards the wooden terrace around the swimming pool, where the vegetation contrasts with the black-stained cladding. Located at the back of the plot, an outbuilding of approximately 11 m² houses an additional bedroom to receive guests as if in a hotel. The bed is raised on a platform above a freestanding bathtub facing the garden and the swimming pool. A laundry room, a cellar, and a technical room complete the ensemble, as well as the possibility of acquiring a detached garage, reinforcing the practicality of this exceptional property.
