In Portes-en-Ré, a contemporary villa inspired by the island's architecture, over 300 m², with its swimming pool and gym. Behind a long white wall, the property gradually reveals itself in the spirit of the large Rêtaise houses. A gate opens onto a gravel courtyard, while a pedestrian door in the wall leads to a covered porch that marks the entrance. A welcoming garden consists of bamboo, palm trees, grasses, and Mediterranean plants. Beyond that, the villa appears in fragments and is organized into several volumes arranged around various successive patios. The old Rêtaise houses often resulted from the gradual aggregation of buildings related to the activities of salt-makers or winemakers. Living spaces, salt warehouses, or old cellars were connected by courtyards protected from the wind. The property adopts this logic in a contemporary interpretation. The lime-rendered facades, dark shutters, and canal tile roofs reflect the architectural codes of the island, while large glass openings establish a fluid relationship with the outdoors. The entire project, in its volumes as well as its interior arrangements, was designed by architect Jeanne Dumont. The materials assert the character of the building: brick floors laid in a dark pattern on the ground floor, oak flooring with small strips on the upper level, fine carpentry, wooden paneled ceilings, and often custom-made furniture.This description has been automatically translated from French.
