An iconic example of modernist architecture from the 1980s, this 327 m2 house sits on a landscaped plot of 1,974 m2, in a dominant position at the end of a cul-de-sac, in the residential area of Touret de Vallier in Martigues, on the edge of the pond.
 
 
Designed by French architect Leopold Cuomo in 1978 and completed in 1982, the house is a compelling expression of its era's architectural vocabulary, informed by the years he spent in the United States.
Upon arrival, the suspended exterior staircases announce the unique character of the place.
His graphic style, marked by angular lines, sculpted volumes and interlocking patterns, asserts a resolutely modernist identity.
The house is revealed by a spectacular entrance and is organized on several split levels, punctuated by vast aluminium joinery that generously captures natural light.
The spaces flow seamlessly into one another, each defined by a subtle interplay of levels and perspectives.
After a few steps, the living room opens up under a stretched canvas ceiling with a burgundy lacquered effect. It is arranged around a central gyrofocus fireplace, a true centerpiece and the beating heart of the house.
A mezzanine overlooks this space and houses a comfortable office open to the reception areas.
Extending from it, the dining room harmoniously connects with a slightly recessed eat-in kitchen.
Floor-to-ceiling windows create a seamless flow between the interior spaces and the garden. Expansive terraces surround a free-form swimming pool, a jacuzzi, and a 30 m2 gazebo, all perfectly integrated into the landscaped garden. Palm trees, rocks, and a mineral beach create a setting reminiscent of a true resort haven.
On one side, the 32 m2 master suite has a 14 m2 bathroom with a bathtub and shower. On the other, two bedrooms share a bathroom also equipped with a bathtub and shower.
The lower level features an intimate bedroom arranged around its private patio. It includes an additional office space and a bathroom with a sauna.
A cinema and games room, a boiler room, a storage room and a laundry room complete this level.
Regarding parking, a 46 m2 garage and several outdoor parking spaces accompany this rare property.
 
 
A remarkable tribute to the 1980s, a preserved witness to a bold and timeless modernist architecture.
