Contemporary architecture, this house with 116 m2 of living space blends into the landscape of its 585 m2 plot, located 350 meters from the beach, in the municipality of St-Trojan-Les-Bains, on the southern tip of the island of Oléron.

Built in 2010, the house reinterprets the architectural codes of seaside fishermen's cabins. Like a fishing net, a walkway leads from the street to the living level. Alternating between vertical and horizontal planks, the cladding at this level adopts the traditional gray-blue color. On either side of the walkway, openings in various narrow shapes enliven a sober façade. The opposite side, on the other hand, features large bay windows allowing light and views of the canopy to come through. The 'cabin' is extended by a vast platform/pontoon on stilts. Surrounded by a cable guardrail, its complex shape embraces the trees and the boundaries of the plot. Its double level accentuates the feeling of a nest protected by the branches of the trees, a sensation that can also be found inside the house. The color of the exterior cladding is reflected in the exposed framework that covers the 42 m2 living space. Beams, posts, arbalétriers (diagonal bracing), and struts stand out against the immaculate white walls and ceilings, as does the sculptural contemporary fireplace suspended between two bay windows, cleverly masked outside. The room is open on both sides to the terrace, which doubles its surface area. The kitchen space, with its generous island, is defined by a break in the sloping ceiling creating a horizontal drop. Optimizing the use of space, two sleeping areas, unified by their sea rush flooring, are distributed on either side of the living area. On one side, a true suite with a bathroom, dressing room, and access to the terrace. On the other, two perfectly symmetrical bedrooms each with their own en-suite bathroom. Each is illuminated by its French door and its original band window. All the openings in the house frame the vegetation. The layout has allowed for the preservation of majestic pine trees that rise towards the sky. Following the exterior chimney flue, the terrace staircase leads to the garden and a completely independent 4th bedroom with its own facilities. A spacious covered area, a good-sized enclosed storage space, and a double shelter for a boat or vehicle complete the practical aspects of the house at this level.

A house with an original design for a vacation spirit all year round.
