luxury architect houses for sale Clarens, Switzerland

Built in 1931 by architects Alexandre Ferenczy and Hermann Henselmann, the Villa Kenwin stands as one of the most remarkable examples of the Bauhaus movement in Switzerland. Classified as a cultural property of national importance, this property underwent exemplary restoration in 1987, respectful of the original spirit and modernist principles that guided its design. Located in the heart of a landscaped park of over 5,200 m² overlooking the Vaud Riviera, the villa offers approximately 550 m² of living space spread over four levels. Its panoramic rooftop terrace provides a spectacular view of Lake Geneva and the Alps. A tree-lined driveway leads to the main entrance, highlighted by shades of blue evoking the Bauhaus's chromatic research. The lower ground floor houses service areas, while the main level opens onto a large hall bathed in natural light, leading to a kitchen illuminated by a zenithal glass roof and an impressive living room with its volumes: 150 m² of reception space with a ceiling height of 5 meters. The living room, structured by a mezzanine with curved lines, is punctuated by a finely crafted metal railing and a horizontal 15-meter bay window framing the magnificent view of the lake. Under the gallery, a glazed library creates an intimate and refined atmosphere. Upstairs, an office/projection room extends the creative spirit of the place. The top level is dedicated to the sleeping area: six bedrooms and three bathrooms, distributed along a U-shaped corridor, reminiscent of the cabins of a modern ship. The furniture and interior details, sober and functional, pay homage to the Bauhaus aesthetic: pieces inspired by Charlotte Perriand, geometric lighting, and integrated furniture underline the timeless purity of this architectural masterpiece.
