UTOPIE

Completely renovated, the original composition of this house has been modified to create two apartments. The main apartment of 70 m² in duplex is accessible from a generous wooden terrace which overlooks the garden. Arriving in the living space, the Z-shaped staircase, one of the signatures of the 'Gratte-Ciel' houses, takes place in the middle of the room, thus separating the kitchen and dining room area from the living room. On the living room side, a polychromatic library with a small integrated desk dresses one of the walls while a full-width band window frames the trees on the other. Completely open-plan with a single black steel handrail, the staircase lets in the light from the upper floor and invites you to explore it. On the second level, the original pine parquet flooring winds between the rooms, first towards the large bedroom with its dual orientation and storage, and finally in the second bedroom with its beautiful view of the colorful facade of the neighboring house. A small bathroom completes this level. From the landing, a door leads to the suspended staircase on the facade that goes up to the roof, revealing a 27 m² solarium with triple orientation and unobstructed views of the treetops, the ideal place to enjoy the sunsets. At garden level, a second 70 m² apartment houses a fitted kitchen large enough to accommodate a dining area, a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom and plenty of storage. A magnificent glass roof in black lacquered steel with thin uprights takes place on the facade to the West, accessible from the bedroom and the living room through glass doors. Independent of the house and attached to the garage, there is an outbuilding converted into a 33 m² apartment with a living space, a bedroom and a bathroom. This set offers several configuration possibilities and will delight architecture lovers.
An iconic and contemporary house for a centenarian.
