luxury architect house for sale Valenciennes, France

Amidst the traditional row of brick houses typical of Lille, one silhouette stands out: Maison Berton. Far more than just a home, this architectural feat?featuring a steel and timber-frame structure?is the result of an extraordinary human and technical journey. Conceived and built by the architect who gave it his name, the house embodies a bold ambition: to reinterpret the neighborhood's aesthetic codes while respecting its harmony. Here, metal replaces brick without ever looking out of place; instead, it integrates into the urban fabric with raw elegance, becoming a welcome point of interest for the entire street. The entrance leads into a spacious workshop, currently filled with architectural models and projects. This flexible space can be reimagined to suit any need?whether as a workspace, a reception area, a game room, or a showcase for a classic car. The eye is immediately drawn to the sculptural white-lacquered steel staircase, the true backbone of the structure. It connects split-level areas featuring three minimalist bedrooms and a tastefully appointed shower room. The living areas are bright and open-plan, yet each room retains a surprising sense of intimacy. Higher up, the dual-aspect living room and the eat-in kitchen?featuring a raw stainless-steel island that mirrors the structure's unique shape?are bathed in natural light. Throughout the home, large picture windows frame the city like works of art. Smoked and oiled solid oak flooring offers a warm counterpoint to the raw plywood partitions, which are designed to function as built-in furniture. At the very top, a magnificent 65 sq m roof terrace?clad in pristine white siding and reminiscent of a solarium?was designed as a true living space. It offers a private outdoor retreat, shielded from view and suspended above the rooftops of Lille. This rare creation, possessing a unique spirit, offers an exclusive living experience for lovers of architecture and urban history. A true statement of timeless modernity, its façade features 15,000 hand-nailed Corten steel scales. This monumental undertaking forged a unique sense of community: throughout the construction process, neighbors evolved from spectators into active participants in the building's transformation. Living here means embracing a home that has truly won the heart of the entire neighborhood.

10 kilometres southeast of Lille, the Sterckeman house by the architect Paul Chemetov, nestled within a tree-filled garden and surrounded by pastures. Built out of a 5-tonne Corten steel structure and tarmacked breezeblocks in the middle of its garden, the raised black block punctuated with large picture windows, which comprises this singular habitation, is listed on the supplementary inventory for historical monuments. Towards 1970, Christian Sterckeman asked Paul Chemetov, a young architect, to build a house on the Pévèle plain. They met several months earlier for an industrial and commercial building project for the sale and distribution of caravans under the framework of his professional activity. 'Living can be camping. A way of settling down without anchoring, of taking hold without taking root'. The construction was therefore designed as a prototype for an economical, reproducible, working-class model typical of its time. Perched on stilts, with its white diagonal triangulation bars, its large skydome windows and plumbing pipe guardrails, the Sterckeman house stands in the middle of a tree-filled garden surrounded by pastures. Everything is within sight. This is, of course, an architectural decision firmly inscribed in the landscape, as Paul Chemetov notes. Winner of the Grand Prix de l’Architecture in 1980, who at one point declared, 'architecture is a moral construct', he designed several emblematic Parisian buildings like the Ministry of Finances in 1989. For him, the traces of the construction and the experience of the materials mattered: 'Here and now the courage is to build. Let’s leave fashion to the milliners and graphics to the graphic designers'. The Sterckeman house, with its concrete, rough breezeblock walls, exposed bricks and red metal framework, is basically a manifesto in action: that of Paul Chemetov’s societal engagement as a protagonist for the recognition of metallic structures.

An elegant mansion with a 1,000m² floor area, two self-contained apartments and 2,000m² of grounds, in Béthune town centre in northern France, 1 hour and 30 minutes from Paris. The mansion is characteristic of edifices built in the wake of the First World War by renowned architects like Marcel Griffon. It lies on the site of a former sugar factory, created by the Dellisse-Engrand family in Béthune in 1818. This was one of the first sugar factories in France. A commemorative plaque in tribute to Victor Amédée Dellisse, a civil engineer, member of parliament and politician honoured by Napoleon III, is still displayed on the edifice’s facade. The dwelling is crowned with a hipped mansard roof. The mansion, made of ashlar, is typical of 1920s neo-classical architecture. It is embellished with wrought-iron balcony balustrades with motifs, fine mouldings and sculpted cornices with a wealth of details. The building has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. It is hidden behind an electric wrought-iron gate and it stands in tree-dotted grounds. These walled grounds cover 2,000m². The brick walls here date back to the time of the military engineer Vauban and were built upon the ruins of a 16th-century Franciscan monastery: Les Récollets. Indeed, opposite the mansion’s facade there are the remaining columns and arches of a former church, which was listed as a historical monument in 1973. Part of the church’s central nave remains. A driveway with a cluster of flowers and shrubs in the middle makes it easy for cars to enter and leave the property.
