luxury architect house for sale Bar-le-Duc, France

Built at an altitude of over 310 meters, on a wooded plot of 4,400 sqm, this house offers 235 sqm of living space spread over two levels. The ground floor, with its large windows facing south, opens onto the swimming pool, the view, and the terrace at the rear of the house. Structured by a split level, this through-floor space features a vast living area with a fireplace, arranged between two load-bearing walls. The architect has eliminated all partitions in favor of modular units designed for storage and equipped with integrated appliances. Their design, as well as the interior layout, was entrusted to interior designer Robert Anxionnat. The split level houses a module, like a semi-open wooden cube, which manages all the domestic functions of the kitchen, dining room, and laundry room. The absence of partitions, the various levels of openings, such as the transoms, and the perspectives created by the floor plan, maintain a continuous connection between the living spaces and the outdoors. The sleeping area comprises four bedrooms. The first is a master suite with a dressing room, bathroom, and toilet, while two other bedrooms, each with a sink and closets, share a shower. Adjacent to a dressing area with a toilet, the fourth bedroom also has a sink. This level also includes a library with a desk and a separate toilet. The semi-basement houses a games room and a large garage that can accommodate up to four cars. Several outbuildings complete the property. It is also possible to purchase the neighboring house. Commissioned from the architect a few years after the first house, it offers approximately 100 square meters of living space and shares the same architectural style. On the southern slope of the Malzéville plateau (a Natura 2000 protected site) and at the foot of the Bois des Carrières forest, just a few minutes' drive from Nancy city center, this house is located in the most sought-after area of the greater Nancy region. The property benefits from all amenities (public transport, shops, services, schools, etc.) as well as numerous natural spaces and outdoor activities. Just 1 hour and 30 minutes from Paris by TGV, the capital of Lorraine is easily accessible. The Vosges Mountains and the airports of Luxembourg and Strasbourg are also within easy reach.

A meeting between modernist architecture and the Lorraine horizon, an old aerodrome club house listed as a historical monument, designed by Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé. As one approaches the aerodrome, at the heart of a 3,000 m² grassy plot, a building conceived by Le Corbusier in the 1950s comes into view. Formerly the club house of the aerodrome where it was built, it stands out from the traditional buildings in the region due to its façades, which blend a light-colored plaster masonry with large glazed joinery, highlighted by a bright red frame. Natural light floods the interior spaces, revealing the architectural lines and opening views onto clear perspectives of 180°. The building was co-signed by Le Corbusier – a major architect and urban planner of the modernist movement, whose work is based on a search for just proportions and clarity of volumes – and the Lorraine designer-blacksmith Jean Prouvé. The latter was noted for his work combining steel and aluminum with particular precision in assembly, which lends an elegant functionality to the construction in question. The roof, made up of prefabricated aluminum elements, consists of two shells back to back, resting on a central gutter; a silhouette that evokes two airplane wings ready to take off, giving the whole structure an architectural identity where technical precision engages with aeronautical imagination. The building underwent rehabilitation in the early 2010s, based on the original plans of Le Corbusier to restore its stylistic coherence. The building is listed as a historical monument for its façades, roofs, supporting structures, and chimneys.This description has been automatically translated from French.

Réf. 4440: Majestic manor house for sale in the Marne. The property is located in the Marne department, 15 km from the town of Epernay and its famous Avenue de Champagne, one of the most expensive streets in the world! Just one kilometre long, this famous avenue is lined with sumptuous town houses and the headquarters of many legendary champagne houses, including Pol Roger, Mercier and Moët & Chandon. Beneath the buildings on this street lie 110 km of cellars housing over 200 million bottles. It's enough to make tourists' heads spin when they come to discover the French art of living. The manor house is isolated from all this frenzy. In its green setting, itself surrounded by pastures, calm and harmony pervade the premises. The first resource town is 6 km away and a large shopping centre is 13 km away. The architect Octave Henri Gelin designed this manor house around 1910. He was the architect for the Marne department and its historic monuments. Many of the buildings he designed bear his signature. His style is characterised by floral ornamentation and rounded lines, typical of Art-Nouveau. The manor house was built at the request of the Grandthille family, famous for their wallpaper manufacture, which won numerous medals, including a gold medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition for a 64-colour ‘Verdure et roses trémières’ (greenery and hollyhocks) panel. They lived in the manor until the 1930s, when they sold it to the family of the current owners. The manor house is divided into two parts, a 385 sqm living area and a 265 sqm area, formerly used by staff, which is no longer fitted out at all. On the living side, the entrance leads into the ‘hunting room’, a cosy, wooded room with a large fireplace. A back door gives access to a shower room with toilet, the kitchen with fireplace and the stairway leading to the upper floors. Off the kitchen are the laundry rooms, the stables and the garage. To the left of the hunting room is a masterly 102 sqm lounge/dining room with another beautiful fireplace and a stairway in the tower with a mezzanine. On the 1st floor, a corridor leads to a toilet, a bathroom and 3 large bedrooms (between 22 and 26 sqm), one of which has a shower room. The 2nd floor comprises 4 bedrooms (between 9 and 13 sqm), each with a washbasin. Access to the common areas is via a staircase in the garage. This leads to the first floor, which has a floor area of around 195 sqm. Another stairway leads to the second floor of the square tower, which measures approximately 65 sqm. A door on the first floor connects the outbuildings to the dwelling. Outbuildings: A large courtyard that can accommodate cars on one side and wood on the other separates the manor house from a caretaker's cottage. There is a large garage and a dwelling awaiting renovation, comprising a living room on the ground floor and two bedrooms upstairs. The 10.47 acres of grounds are well maintained and beautifully planted with trees. A 2.500 sqm lake adds to the bucolic atmosphere.
