HOSSEGOR, Aquitaine 40150

Exclusivity - It is within a preserved neighborhood of Hossegor, immersed in nature, that this discreet architecture designed by Bernard Champagnat is located. Built in a dominant position in the 1980s on a 2200m2 plot planted with pines and cork oaks, the architect's goal was to keep the site intact in order to invite nature to thrive among this built environment. Inspired by the modernist movement and the concept of a bi-nuclear house imagined by the famous architect Marcel Breuer, the villa follows a single-story configuration composed of two separate cores, where on one side there are reception rooms and on the other, resting rooms. Connecting these two volumes is a large glassed entrance where the boundaries between the exterior and interior blur, allowing natural light to penetrate freely. The reception area offers a spectacular volume of 90m2 with beautiful ceiling heights, and the layout of the space suggests a dining room, an equipped open kitchen, a relaxation lounge, and the essential fire pit that invites enjoyment of a sublime fireplace. The night area accommodates 3 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms, toilets, and numerous custom-designed woodwork in exotic wood. The presence of raw materials such as wood in different species, Vaugirard bricks, glazed tiles, as well as custom furniture, help create a subdued and warm atmosphere. The whole is adorned with large partially covered terraces that extend from the roofs, ensuring an interior/exterior link for each room. A basement garage of 100m2 with a pantry and a shower for returning from the beach completes the whole. Bernard Champagnat signs here an architecture connected to nature, displaying a perfect balance between solid and transparent volumes, the weight of concrete walls and the lightness of the roof design. This remarkable villa is located only 4km from the ocean beaches and constitutes a unique property, still owned by the original family. This description has been automatically translated from French.
