MIMOSA

Renovated and extended by an architect in 2019, this house is distinguished by its interplay of interlocking and recessed volumes. Behind its attractive wooden door, the warm-toned entrance opens onto a bright, L-shaped living area. The living room and dining room occupy the foreground, enlivened by a vibrant mimosa-yellow wall that captures and diffuses the light. Upon entering, the eye is immediately drawn to the double-height living room, where a historic spiral staircase rises, passing close to the back of a custom-built bookcase with oriental touches. The white kitchen extends slightly forward onto the rear facade, which is partially glazed from floor to ceiling. On this level, a bedroom evokes the atmosphere of a ship's cabin with birch plywood fittings and a small en-suite shower room with blue mosaic tiles, concealed behind a sliding cane door that filters the light. Upstairs, a mezzanine houses an office space, bathed in light thanks to its ribbon windows running the entire length of the facade. A second bedroom, accessible through a double-height dressing room, is nestled in the attic. This cozy haven benefits from a view into the living room and an en-suite bathroom with built-in storage. Outside, the raised zinc facade curves back to clad a covered section that runs alongside the living room windows. Designed as an outdoor room, the approximately 23 m² wooden terrace invites you to share meals with family and friends on sunny days. A cellar, accessible via a trapdoor, completes this home.
