COURBET

Designed by the Souverain architectural firm, it bears the hallmarks of the 1970s: the house doesn't impose itself, it anchors itself. It adopts low lines, plays of volumes, and that particular way of opening up the view to the landscape, a clear legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright. The three levels of the building nestle into the slope, like natural terraces. Each space finds its perfect orientation: to the east, the gentle warmth of the morning; to the south, the brilliance of daylight filtering through the forest edge; to the north, a panoramic view of the valley. Terraces, balconies, and a majestic rooftop extend this seamless connection with the outdoors. Nature permeates every corner, and light flows freely throughout. At the heart of the main level, the light-filled living room is defined by a custom-designed anthracite metal fireplace. The materials speak an organic language: travertine flooring, a lacquered ceiling, ivory walls, and white lacquered aluminum on all the woodwork. This level also houses a Bulthaup kitchen equipped with Gaggenau appliances and an office, creating a fluid whole where each space continues the dialogue with the landscape. In total, five bedrooms, complemented by three shower rooms and a bathroom, all bathed in light and finished with oak parquet flooring, comprise the sleeping quarters, offering a balance between the coolness of the garden level and views of nature from the upper floors. At the very top, the rooftop becomes a belvedere. The valley unfolds in all its depth, with the garden in the foreground. The garden surrounds the house and seems to protect it. A little further into the garden, hidden from view, a separate 48 m² cottage, built in 1998, appears to watch over the property. With its own entrance and potential for a 60 m² extension, it offers great promise: an artist's workshop, a studio, a place to welcome guests, share knowledge, create anything is possible. A two-car garage completes the property.
