A Biomorphic Sanctuary

A Seamless Integration of Indoors and Outdoors
The interior spaces are arranged to allow a fluid flow of energy, with landscape gaps that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors throughout the residence. Large windows offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, inviting residents to connect with nature at any time.
Sustainable Materials and Elegant Aesthetics
The materials used in the construction, including natural cedar, concrete, glass, and custom-developed anodized aluminum, were carefully selected for their durability, low environmental impact, and ability to blend with the natural hues of the site. This creates a perfect fusion of human artifice and natural beauty.
Architectural Concrete as a Unifying Element
Architectural concrete has been used as a linking element between the different spaces of the house, offering structural stability and acting as a thermal mass to regulate the interior temperature throughout the year.
A Sanctuary for Relaxation and Well-Being
The residence’s layout includes a concrete terrace that rises to the sky, a place dedicated to relaxation and well-being. Incorporating a spa and sauna, this outdoor space becomes a sanctuary where residents can recharge in harmony with nature.
Bespoke Furniture for Harmonious Integration
Clément benches, tables, integrated sofa, and beds were all conceived and designed by blanchette archi.design to ensure a harmonious integration and an optimal experience within the residence.
