A modernist Bauhaus-inspired villa and swimming pool set in 1 3 hectares of land zoned for building near Beaune. This discreet property is entirely enclosed by solid fencing covered with lush foliage. There are three entrances through the green perimeter curtain, which means that the grounds could potentially be partitioned. A small unpaved track leads to the main entrance, which is well hidden by thick shrubbery. The automatic gate rests is supported by a stone pillar controlled by a digital keypad and an intercom system concealed by a stone wall with an oculus. A gravel esplanade provides parking space down below one corner of the villa. A second gate, of wire mesh, provides access from the grounds to the rear of the building. A set of wide, flat stairs, flanked by a green slope and plants climbing over a metal balustrade, leads to a huge esplanade featuring an impressive swimming pool.
The villa follows its contours, responding to its angles and echoing its shapes and colours. The simple, single-level residence is modular and harmonious. Dressed stone walls, wide flagstones, white and blue-tinted concrete, steel railings and picture windows combine to create an abundance of sobriety. The white of the facade, topped by a wide roof terrace that protrudes well beyond the south side, illuminates the ensemble and catches the ever-changing shadows.
Construction began in 1965 and was completed over a period of around fifteen years. The facade features a few slightly curved sections that do not detract from the overall impression. The large sliding doors alternate with solid dressed stone elements that counterbalance the painted concrete.
