TEMPLE

Renovated over the years by its art-loving owner, this unique property combines the authenticity of its preserved materials with a meticulous and careful renovation. The entrance leads to the vast living room with its double-height section and its ceiling with original beams. The multiple openings with double exposure North and West, including a narrow balcony, let in light and offer an unobstructed view. Its structural elements such as its stone walls and its choice of decorations created in situ such as its resin terrazzo floor engraved with the four cardinal points or its oriental door give the space all its elegance and affirms the attention paid to the smallest details. Surrounded by exotic parquet flooring, an indoor swimming pool extends from the living room. A bathroom with understated black and white accents completes the space. The circular circulation leads to the vast eat-in kitchen, designed to enjoy meals in large groups. The white elements are topped with glass countertops and contrast with the slate-colored tiled floor. Its adjoining room allows for an office space, a guest bedroom, or a TV lounge. This is followed by a transitional space with its bathroom leading to the upper level under exposed beams, whose vast plateau distributes the sleeping areas in a warm atmosphere enhanced by the choice of different wood species: two small, intimate bedrooms as well as a suite whose stained-glass window and openwork doors give a soothing appearance to the space, which is no less functional with its bathroom. A second staircase leads to the entrance of the lower level where a self-contained 23 m² studio completes the ensemble with its separate kitchen and bathroom.
