The generous volumes and arched openings will provide remarkable natural light and create an atmosphere that is both elegant and soothing. MEDITERRANEAN GARDENS, SWIMMING POOL AND OUTDOOR RECEPTION AREAS The outdoor spaces have been conceived as a true private resort surrounded by olive trees. The project includes: • a large elegant swimming pool with solarium, • an annex dedicated to wellness and reception areas, • several shaded pergolas, • relaxing patios, • landscaped Mediterranean gardens, • as well as a spectacular garden structured around a landscaped promenade inspired by historic Italian estates. The 3D renderings reveal a property with a remarkably coherent aesthetic, blending understated luxury, architectural authenticity, and contemporary elegance.

A modern eight-bedroom house with a 390m² floor area, hidden in 1.3 hectares of grounds in France's Yvelines department, less than an hour from Paris. The property, which covers 13,000m², is perched upon a hill, at the end of a cul-de-sac, which a footpath extends. Beyond the entrance gate, a rise leads to a court in front of the house. The dwelling was built in 2001. It has two floors and an attic. The dwelling offers eight bedrooms, four bathrooms or shower rooms, and a 80m² reception space that is extended with a large outdoor terrace facing the garden. The building is crowned with roofing of interlocking tiles. The house offers a total floor area of around 450m². Two garages and a vast workshop on the ground floor complete the living space of 360m², above which a converted loft extends. The house faces north and south. Large French windows in the ground-floor reception rooms open from its south face. On the ground floor, a hallway connects to a 60m² living room that includes a dining area, beneath a high cathedral ceiling. Two broad French windows take up a wall of this room and flank an open fireplace. They lead out into the garden. A spacious kitchen with a scullery adjoins this vast reception room. It leads into an area taken up by a workshop, garages and a cellar. Further on lie a utility room, a linen room and a guest lavatory. On the other side, there is a master bedroom, which includes an en-suite bathroom with a lavatory. Beside it there is a guest bedroom, a bathroom and an office. The ground-floor rooms offer direct access to the garden. The windows have aluminium frames and are equipped with roller shutters. The double garage has two large tip-up doors that open into the front court. It also has a pedestrian back door on the garden side. From one corner of this garage, you can reach a wine cellar in a basement below it. Upstairs, a landing connects to six bedrooms with wardrobes and storage spaces, a separate lavatory, and two bathrooms, one of which includes a lavatory. A passage leads to a 30m² loft space, which has been converted into a games room. Large windows fill all the bedrooms with natural light. Outside, the grounds covering 12,700m² combine expanses of lawn with woodland. This lush outdoor area surrounds the house. The grounds are partly sloping and extend mostly on the house’s south side. They are dotted with many trees of different kinds. There is also a heated swimming pool in the garden. This pool is 12 metres long and 5 metres wide. The garden is not overlooked at all: there are no neighbours. So swimmers and sun-bathers can relax in absolute privacy.

On the edge of the capital, in the quiet of Gentilly, a light and spacious house of 455 m² with terrace and garden . The immaculate façade of the house is punctuated here and there by climbing plants and touches of ultramarine blue: from the railings to the gate and the small, discreet earthenware friezes. Entirely surrounded by walls and lush vegetation, the property is completely hidden from prying eyes and without a vis-à-vis. In all, the house has five floors and 455 m² of living space. The secure gate gives access to the garage on one side, and on the other to the plant-rich and slab-paved path that leads directly to the 76.50 m² lawned garden. The tour of the house begins on the garden floor, where a flight of stairs leads to the high glass-clad blue entrance door. This level, completely independent from the rest of the house, is built around a 25 m² studio with parquet floor, kitchen, shower room and guest toilet. The entire space is lit by a large window reminiscent of old school buildings. From there, a few steps lead to the ground floor and a large kitchen of almost 80 m². Fully equipped, it offers plenty of storage space and a dining area for six people. The kitchen adjoins the open-plan, long dining room, which is large enough to seat at least eight guests. With its large windows, dark parquet flooring and flat white and grey paintwork, this room has a resolutely contemporary look. In one corner, a wood and metal quarter turn staircase leads to the upper level, which features a huge 77 m² living room with light parquet flooring and a modern fireplace. It opens onto a conservatory with glass roofs, which provide plenty of light throughout the day and all year round. To one side, a double French window opens onto the 13m² wooden terrace, large enough to accommodate deckchairs for a relaxing moment. At the back of the room, a white wooden staircase leads up to the second floor. This level consists of the master bedroom of 16 m² with a 14 m² sports room and a bathroom. Further on, the office could easily be converted into an extra bedroom or a walk-in wardrobe. The top floor of the house, under the roof, includes two bedrooms of 16 and 17m² respectively with parquet floors and a shower room. They are illuminated by roof windows and skylights. The basement features a spacious garage, a laundry room, a closet and a wine cellar.

In Orne, near Argentan, a Gothic-style residence with contemporary comfort. Facing the Notre-Dame church, the property borders a quiet, winding street in the town center. Accessible directly from the street, the house is discreetly embedded in the old fabric of the village. Three volumes stand out: in the center, the main building, large and regular, is raised two stories high with converted attics, featuring a typical 18th-century facade on the street, punctuated with light blue window frames and shutters. At the back, a sharp-edged tower houses one of the two spiral staircases, remnants of the original Gothic structure. From this period, there are also ornamental brackets, mullions, and crossbeams that adorn some window openings, especially on the garden side. To the north, a lower wing develops over two levels. To the south, angled along the street, a single-story wing ends with a pavilion. The whole structure, built of small white limestone masonry, is topped with flat tiled roofs. Recently renovated, the residence offers contemporary comfort, still retaining many authentic elements: spiral staircases, floorboards, exposed beam ceilings, fireplaces, and trumeaus, wooden joinery with small panes and old doors. In the southern wing, there are two bedrooms, a playroom, a kitchen, a shower room, and two toilets. The northern wing features a garage and technical spaces on the ground floor. The upper floor, accessible from the third bedroom of the main house, includes a bathroom, a bedroom, and an attic. A garden extends the dwelling, in a vast and long wooded plot that stretches west between two meanders of the Udon and the Orne. A first shelter, close to the house and of similar design, adds to the residence around a terrace. A second, smaller brick shelter serves as a garden shed. A gate provides access to the southern part of the plot. An old greenhouse is located to the north.This description has been automatically translated from French.

An immense farmhouse, its guesthouse and swimming pool, on grounds of 4,400 m², only a few kilometres from the ocean, in the Breton Marshes of Vendée. Surrounded by canals, both large and small, water is used as a natural property line to the south, while hedgerows of tamarisk line either side of the small access lane, which leads to a double gate framed by white pillars. The latter opens on to a grassy drive that eventually leads to the house of 232 m², after passing, on one side, a separate cottage of around 32 m², which abuts a garage of approximately 33 m². Constructed horizontally with one storey, these two buildings are typical of rural hamlets in the Vendée region, while the U-shaped farmhouse features a silhouette emblematic of traditional architecture, which has now been adapted to a more contemporary living style. Featuring stone walls covered in white roughcast rendering that reflect the smallest amount of sunlight, its shutters, painted grey-blue, recall the reflections of the nearby ocean, whereas its gently sloping gable roofs clearly stand out from the landscape thanks to the orangey colour of its barrel tiles, which are highlighted, in turn, by an immaculate genoise cornice. As for the central building, framed by two wings added at a later date, it encloses an immense space designed for leisure and well-being. In the middle, the turquoise swimming pool and spa create a haven for relaxation, protected from the wind and sheltered from view thanks to dense vegetation, while palms, olives and a variety of shrubs ubiquitous to southern France create an almost island-like feel here. Lastly, extending over approximately 4,400 m², the verdant property is planted with an array of mature trees and shrubs, which provide plenty of shade as well as privacy for the whole.

In Beaujolais, at the entrance of a chateau's park, an old outbuilding has been converted into a contemporary dwelling along with its 1,780 m² land. The house, built in an L-shape, is situated at the entrance of the triangular plot extending down to the nearby stream. It retains the characteristics of 19th-century outbuildings, featuring prominent eaves that protect the clay-lime plastered facades. The gabled roofs, covered with terracotta canal tiles, highlight the pediment crowning the tall central bay window. Likely stemming from a dual purpose, combining agricultural activity and housing for the property's caretaker, the now renovated house must have once included an area to shelter horses, as well as another for the horse owners. Both areas were opened up and unified by an architect in the 2000s, creating a contemporary residential farm spanning 247 m². In the grassy grounds planted with large trees, beyond the well, stands a small building for storing equipment and garden furniture.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A former municipal tax collection office renovated into a village dwelling, between Mount Lozère and Mount Aigoual, in the Cévennes National Park. In the village, the former municipal tax collection office – which once housed the local school a century ago – has been entirely restored and converted into cosy guest accommodations. With approximately 170 m², the house stands out thanks to its high ceilings and rooms bathed in light, which provide 180° panoramic views of the surrounding Cévennes valleys that extend as far as the eye can see. Facing south, it marks the village’s southern border and is extended by a wooden patio that seems to float above the landscape. As for its renovations, they were able to conserve the soul of the premises, while still retaining its original materials and incorporating all modern comforts, such as a pellet furnace, fibre optic cable, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.

This vast complex of buildings, set in an enclosed park covering 8 hectares, has recently undergone a complete and high-quality restoration. The Renaissance manor, which is dominated by its staircase tower, has retained its original character. Set perpendicularly, there is a long series of outbuildings housing three holiday cottages. A barn has been converted into a reception room, as has a nearby modern, glazed greenhouse with a roof. Two other holiday cottages complete the considerable accommodation capacity of this property. The swimming pool to the rear is set in a fenced in area. Slightly further away, exhibition spaces have been created in glazed metal modules. They form a modern cloister, which could easily be repurposed, particularly for receptions. The grounds are partially enclosed behind high walls and towers, of which the walls are listed as a historical monument. The wooded grounds include shaded trails.

In the historic center of Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, a contemporary villa of approximately 520m², its garden and .... The intelligence of a Portuguese house lies in its duality: the classical austerity of its façade and the boldness of its interior organisation. The decision to invert traditional codes by placing the main living space upstairs creates a unique spatial dynamic and multiplies the number of perspectives. The four suites, cleverly distributed over three levels, ensure a harmonious cohabitation. The Mediterranean vegetation in the garden echoes the landscapes of nearby Arrábida. The wine-growing and aristocratic past of Azeitão resonates here in a resolutely forward-looking interpretation, halfway between cultural roots and openness to the world.

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.

A stately 19th-century villa, surrounded by tree-filled grounds, with outbuildings and a swimming pool, in the middle of a city with strong architectural heritage, two hours from Paris, in Burgundy. Located in a very residential neighbourhood with wide, tree-lined avenues bordered by many private mansions with impressive façades and appreciated for its tranquillity and discreetness, the property is accessible via a spiked entrance gate, which opens on to the grounds, as well as a second entrance from another avenue that provides vehicular access to a gravel parking area. As for the manor house, it was erected in the middle of the grounds, while its main façade, set back from the street, faces north and its southern exterior, facing the garden, looks out on to the tiled swimming pool. The original three-storey building, with a central layout and an attic level, features stone-colour plaster exteriors as well as a slate and zinc Mansard roof, while a lateral two-storey wing with a roof terrace was added at a later time to the west. Extending on from this wing, a modern conservatory was created next to the swimming pool, whereas immense grounds planted with lawn and tall trees, some of which are multi-century, is landscaped with shrubs and flowerbeds and scattered here and there with several peaceful nooks, ideal for relaxation, under the shade of a tree or near the swimming pool.
