SIGNED ARCHITECTURE AND LIVED VOLUMES Around the fireplace, the spaces are arranged and organized by levels. The spiral staircase facilitates movement in a continuous flow, directly linked to this central axis. The living areas open up within this dynamic, while the bedrooms are set back, allowing for different ways of living. The independent apartment offers true autonomy, suitable for cohabitation or hosting relatives. The indoor pool, concealed under a movable floor, changes the room’s function depending on the moment and supports daily use as well as shared times. The sauna and its shower extend this approach, aligned with a pursuit of lasting comfort. The materials—stone, wood, and terracotta—anchor the place in tangible continuity and support a logic of transmission. On the top floor, a monumental library designed by the same artist as the fireplace completes the ensemble, placing the property in an even more unique dimension, between architecture and collection. The materials—stone, wood, and terracotta—ground the place in tangible continuity. ENCLOSED GARDEN AND STONE EXTERIORS The garden is set within the thickness of the surrounding walls, extending the mineral presence of this unique property. An old carriage gate provides a second access and opens another relationship to the village, while a third independent entrance from the parallel street is located through an old village gate on the rear facade, offering a more discreet entry. The stone terrace accommodates outdoor activities, from dining to quieter moments. The whole forms a contained space, directly connected to the living areas. This configuration allows for hosting events or stays, linked to the interior spaces and their layout. The garden thus fully contributes to the balance of the place, between presence, use, and breathing space.
