Description
An exceptional property in a sumptuous setting.
This contemporary hillside house was built in 2008.
With 150 m² of living space on two levels, the first floor features a loft-style reception area with living room and open kitchen. The first floor houses a master suite with private bathroom, as well as two bedrooms and a bathroom. All bedrooms open onto terraces. They face north, east and west. A roof terrace offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountain landscape.
It stands in a charming mountain village near Castellane, between the Parc du Mercantour and the Gorges du Verdon. It is about 1h15 by car from Nice airport.
Bright spaces with exceptional views
Large skylights and multiple exhibitions flood the living spaces with natural light. Upstairs, the sober interior design highlights the vast, open-plan volume and high ceilings. Situated high up, the house enjoys breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Its sleek, wood-clad silhouette blends into the natural vegetation of the grounds.
This house is part of the revival of wooden architecture, which the architects of the Modern Movement had abandoned.
This lightweight, environmentally-friendly material, which allows the house to blend in better with its natural surroundings, has been the subject of renewed interest from many architects in recent years.
