Description
Brazilian inspiration on the outskirts of Paris
This superb contemporary home boasting a clean design and noble materials is inspired by the work of architect Marcio Kogan, a major figure in contemporary Brazilian architecture. It offers an intimate and serene living environment in the heart of Colombes.
Set on a 439 m² plot, this T-shaped house extends a total surface area of around 430 m² spread over four levels.
The main level, on the ground floor, is home to a luminous 140 m² living space that is entirely open-plan, opening onto the garden and bathed in light thanks to generous picture windows. The adjoining kitchen and dining room open onto the living room: the oak parquet flooring and rubble stone walls create a visual continuity between the three areas. The kitchen is arranged around a large central island and opens onto a patio, ideal for intimate meals. A basin creates an elegant horizontal line along the kitchen, harmoniously balancing the composition.
A graphic black metal staircase leads to the sleeping area. The first floor comprises two 29 m² bedrooms, each with its own shower room, a third 25 m² bedroom with its own terrace, and a study. On the second and top floor, a superb 70 m² penthouse comprises a master suite with study area, Japanese-style bathroom and large 33 m² private terrace offering unobstructed views of the towers of La Défense. Large sliding wooden shutters adorn the exterior façades, providing a screen for the bay windows.
The house also boasts a generous 89 m² converted basement, with a games room, music room, laundry room and wine cellar.
Sheltered from view in a private driveway, the property enjoys a very quiet, leafy setting in a charming residential area of Colombes close to the Coulée Verte, 20 minutes from Paris by public transport.
A generous, dynamic and refined volume
The interior spaces interact with the exterior and open onto terraces that punctuate the different levels of the house. The rectilinear composition of the house is cleverly counterbalanced by its overhangs, the overhang of the stone cladding, and its juxtaposed terraces, which create an impression of interlocking. This system of boxes is extended inside with the study-cabin in the master bedroom, which creates a place conducive to concentration and imagination.
Brazilian inspiration in Colombes
The architecture of this house is inspired by the work of Marcio Kogan through the simplicity and formal purity of the building, the clear porosity between interior and exterior spaces and the choice of a palette of raw, light and warm materials. The use of pure lines and volumes, the use of wooden blinds and exposed stone, and the elegant combination of these materials underline the kinship between this house and those built by the Brazilian architect. The poetry that emanates from the building evokes nature and the warm woods of his native land, giving rise to an architecture that combines tradition and modernity.
