A reworked basque house, Arbonne

In Basque country, traditions are sacred. This explains why the owners of this big modern house went for local materials such as red tiles or white coating. Asian influences were added in the mix, in order to ease the flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Hence the large bay windows that open onto close to 400 sq m of exotic wood on the terrace and a 200-sq m infinity pool. In its center, an outdoor kitchen allows for dinners by the water. Decidedly zen and contemporary, the house itself provides 500 sq of living space over two levels. On the ground floor, a 200-sq m reception area with a fully-equipped kitchen leads to a couple of suites with a private lounge each, another two bedrooms and a bathroom. Three additional suites are located upstairs. “Halfway between Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, in the municipality of Arbonne, this extraordinarily quiet, secluded property is fenced by a listed forest. It stands at the heart of a sloping 3,500-sq m garden”, Coldwell Banker/DP&P Consulting says.
