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.

Meeting between modernist architecture and the Lorraine horizon, an old aerodrome clubhouse listed as a historic monument, signed by Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé. Approaching the aerodrome, at the heart of a 3,000 m² grassy plot, a building imagined by Le Corbusier in the 1950s appears. Former clubhouse of the aerodrome where it was built, it stands out from the traditional buildings of the region with its facades, which blend a light-toned plaster masonry and large glazed joinery, highlighted by bright red framing. Natural light fills the interior spaces, revealing the lines of the architecture and opening views to 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 the pursuit of right proportions and clarity of volumes – and the Lorraine designer and metalworker Jean Prouvé. The latter was noted for his works combining steel and aluminum with a particular accuracy of assembly, which gives the construction here at stake a functional elegance. The roof, an assembly of prefabricated aluminum elements, is formed of two shells back to back placed on a central trough; a silhouette that evokes two airplane wings ready to take off and gives the whole a distinctive architectural identity where technical precision dialogues with the aeronautical imagination. The building underwent rehabilitation in the early 2010s, carried out based on Le Corbusier's original plans in order to restore its stylistic coherence. The building is listed as a historical monument for its facades, roofs, load-bearing structures, and chimneys.This description has been automatically translated from French.
