An Art Deco inspired 1930s house, in Nantes, in the Monselet district. In a peaceful street, the property stands behind iron railings made up of vertical struts topped by simple points and punctuated by lozenge-shaped geometrical patterns, providing a touch of decorative precision. There is a pedestrian gate as well as a larger gate providing car access to the garage. The two-storey house, also with an attic level, has neighbouring buildings on either side. It boasts a courtyard looking onto the street and an outside area to the rear with different levels: a patio, a courtyard and a lawn. The building combines solid materials and traditional elements such as granite, ironwork and period joinery with the daring Art Deco spirit. The façade is both balanced and expressive. It is an illustration of the care lavished upon residential architecture in the inter-war period, a time in which each detail, such as stone arches, finely crafted guard-rails and small-paned windows, sought to combine modern comfort with urban distinction. Clues of the interior layout are given by studying the façade. The sleeper wall made of rough-hewn blocks of granite supports a first floor with light-coloured rendering whose simplicity emphasises the geometric rigour of the windows. The ground floor, with lower ceilings and smaller windows, is reserved for cosier rooms and the house’s technical facilities. On the first floor, two wide windows with small panes on the upper part are graced with soberly and stylishly designed guard-rails including geometric patterns, which is another element typical of the 1930s. The first floor includes the reception rooms. The edifice is topped by a gabled roof made of interlocking tiles.
