Architect's House In La Hume

There are houses that transcend trends without ever losing their modernity. ”La Girolle” is one of those. Nestled in the heart of La Hume, just steps from the beach, the train station, and shops, it was conceived with a simple idea: to live in harmony with light, the seasons, and the passage of time. From the first glance, its architecture catches the eye. Neither ostentatious nor conventional. A subtle dialogue between render, bricks, and cladding, where each material naturally finds its place. A house designed to last, far from the whims of fashion. But the true secret of La Girolle reveals itself when one pushes the door. Facing south, a vast glass facade opens onto the varangue. In summer, its shade naturally protects the living spaces from the heat. In winter, the sun generously enters and warms the interiors. A bioclimatic design even before the term became trendy. Light is everywhere. Soft in the morning, dazzling at noon, warm at sunset. It accompanies every moment of the day and gives this house a unique atmosphere. The living room, inspired by the loft spirit, is organized around the fireplace. The volumes breathe. The perspectives extend towards the outside. The semi-open kitchen contributes to this conviviality, while the pantry preserves everyday comfort. A remarkable wooden frame wall runs through the house. Both load-bearing, structural, separating, and decorative, it constitutes the backbone of the architectural project. It naturally delineates the day and night spaces while bringing warmth and personality. The master suite invites rest. Two other bedrooms welcome family and friends. The mezzanine becomes, according to desires, an office, a library, a music space, or simply a refuge to read a book while watching the light change. Outside, everything has been designed for enjoyment without burden: a few flower beds, a strip of grass, simple-to-maintain spaces, and generous enough to fully savor the softness of the Basin. A primary residence for those seeking a rare quality of life, or a secondary residence for those dreaming of an elegant retreat just minutes from the beach, La Girolle is a house that does not seek to impress. It prefers to seduce sustainably. And that is undoubtedly what makes it so endearing. ✨🏡
