Peyrehorade, Aquitaine 40300

Built in the 1980s, this architecturally striking home offers 300 m2 of living space on a 6, 000 m2 plot overlooking the town of Peyrehorade, in a privileged setting with unobstructed views of the finest Pyrenean peaks and the Adour river. Designed by architect Jean-Raphal Hbrard, known for his site-sensitive architecture and his vision of combining tradition and modernity, the building's shape follows the curves of the land, and its vast roofs discreetly intertwine to create a light, fan-like appearance. Its shape follows the curves of the land and its vast roofs discreetly intertwine to give a fan-like appearance of great lightness. With its rational plan, this house enjoys great fluidity of use. The entrance is tucked under an impressive porch (which can accommodate two cars), the architect's signature. From the vestibule, the secondary service areas are discreetly hidden behind red lacquered doors, while a door and glass impost bands draw the eye towards the dining room and the living room with its wooden cathedral ceiling, its brick fireplace and a large, resolutely modernist built-in bookcase that communicates with an office separated by a mahogany accordion door. All the living spaces face due south with wooden joinery and exterior Venetian blinds opening onto a beautiful terrace overlooking the green garden and the swimming pool. Communicating with the dining room is the kitchen with a large pantry and direct access to a service courtyard and the car garage. Also on this level is a generous master suite with dressing room, bathroom, and private terrace to enjoy the morning light to the East. On the garden level, a second living room with access to a covered terrace takes place, as well as a sleeping area with three bedrooms that share a bathroom. To complete the sleeping areas, a guest bedroom with its bathroom in Briare enamels with variations of navy blue is perched above the living room. A wine cellar, technical rooms, numerous built-in storage spaces and a shed that can be converted into an independent studio complete this property.Perfectly preserved by the project's sponsors, this house is a beautiful tribute to the design and details of the modernist movement while remaining anchored in its regional context.
