Description
Californian inspiration on the Basque Coast
This contemporary villa, designed by architect Luc Vaichère of the LV2A agency in Biarritz in 2006, is characterised by its transparency and elegant lines.
Set in 4,500 m² of superb, private wooded grounds, this villa offers around 358 m² of living space over two levels.
An outside passageway leads to a hallway that leads to a vast, light-filled reception room overlooking the garden, comprising a large lounge with fireplace and a dining room with open-plan fitted kitchen, separated by a central area separated by removable partitions and converted into an exhibition gallery. A study area completes the space. A large pivoting glass door opens onto the terrace with its 20x3m heated swimming pool and the grounds.
On the other side of the entrance hall is the first sleeping area, including two suites with bedroom, study area and bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. They also benefit from private terraces.
From the living room, a staircase leads to the first floor, where there are two further suites with bedroom, dressing room and bathroom.
A basement with wine cellar, storage, utility room and technical room completes the property.
The property also benefits from a carport and a workshop.
The house offers a luxurious living space with top-of-the-range features perfectly suited to contemporary lifestyles. It features a range of high-quality materials, including waxed concrete floors, aluminium door frames and a terrace made entirely of red cedar. The large picture windows open onto the parkland and vegetation.
The villa enjoys a peaceful setting in the heart of unspoilt countryside in the town of Biarritz, just a few minutes from all the shops, schools and amenities, the beaches, the airport and the TGV train station.
Landscape architecture
The house’s sleek, horizontal lines are reminiscent of Californian homes built in the second half of the 20th century.The facades are clad with long ironwood battens, which are particularly resistant, ensuring the durability of the structure and giving the whole a warm, sculptural appearance.
The building is also characterised by its great transparency thanks to its large glazed surfaces. The use of corner skylights gives the structure great lightness and immerses the spaces in nature. The bay windows are protected from the sun’s rays by the wide overhangs of the steel trough roofs, supported by wooden and metal posts with an industrial design.
