Construite en 1931 par les architectes Alexandre Ferenczy et Hermann Henselmann, la Villa Kenwin est l’un des exemples les plus remarquables du mouvement Bauhaus en Suisse.
Classé bien culturel d’importance nationale, ce bien a fait l’objet d’une restauration exemplaire en 1987, dans le respect de l’esprit d’origine et des principes modernistes qui ont guidé sa conception.
Située au cœur d’un parc paysager de plus de 5 200 m² surplombant la Riviera vaudoise, la villa offre environ 550 m² de surface habitable répartis sur quatre niveaux. Son toit-terrasse panoramique offre une vue spectaculaire sur le lac Léman et les Alpes.
Une allée bordée d’arbres mène à l’entrée principale, soulignée par des nuances de bleu évoquant les recherches chromatiques du Bauhaus. Le rez-de-chaussée inférieur abrite des zones de service, tandis que le niveau principal s’ouvre sur un grand hall baigné de lumière naturelle, menant à une cuisine éclairée par une verrière zénithale et à un impressionnant salon avec ses volumes : 150 m² d’espace de réception avec une hauteur de plafond de 5 mètres.
Le salon, structuré par une mezzanine aux lignes courbes, est ponctué d’une balustrade métallique finement travaillée et d’une baie vitrée horizontale de 15 mètres encadrant la magnifique vue sur le lac. Sous la galerie, une bibliothèque vitrée crée une atmosphère intime et raffinée.
À l’étage, un bureau/salle de projection prolonge l’esprit créatif du lieu. Le niveau supérieur est dédié à la zone nuit : six chambres et trois salles de bains, réparties le long d’un couloir en U, qui rappelle les cabines d’un navire moderne.
Le mobilier et les détails intérieurs, sobres et fonctionnels, rendent hommage à l’esthétique du Bauhaus : des pièces inspirées de Charlotte Perriand, des éclairages géométriques et des meubles intégrés soulignent la pureté intemporelle de ce chef-d’œuvre architectural.

Classified as a cultural property of national importance, this property underwent exemplary restoration in 1987, respectful of the original spirit and modernist principles that guided its design.
Located in the heart of a landscaped park of over 5,200 m² overlooking the Vaud Riviera, the villa offers approximately 550 m² of living space spread over four levels. Its panoramic rooftop terrace provides a spectacular view of Lake Geneva and the Alps.
A tree-lined driveway leads to the main entrance, highlighted by shades of blue evoking the Bauhaus’s chromatic research. The lower ground floor houses service areas, while the main level opens onto a large hall bathed in natural light, leading to a kitchen illuminated by a zenithal glass roof and an impressive living room with its volumes: 150 m² of reception space with a ceiling height of 5 meters.
The living room, structured by a mezzanine with curved lines, is punctuated by a finely crafted metal railing and a horizontal 15-meter bay window framing the magnificent view of the lake. Under the gallery, a glazed library creates an intimate and refined atmosphere.
Upstairs, an office/projection room extends the creative spirit of the place. The top level is dedicated to the sleeping area: six bedrooms and three bathrooms, distributed along a U-shaped corridor, reminiscent of the cabins of a modern ship.
The furniture and interior details, sober and functional, pay homage to the Bauhaus aesthetic: pieces inspired by Charlotte Perriand, geometric lighting, and integrated furniture underline the timeless purity of this architectural masterpiece.
