La Ciotat Une Maison D'architecte Entre Nature Et Ville

In the heart of a private enclave in La Ciotat, just minutes from the Old Port, beaches, and shops, this 265 m² property offers a unique approach to living.

Behind lush vegetation, the address maintains its privacy and reveals an architecture that blends the memory of the place with contemporary design. The project, conceived by an architect, is based on a carefully reinterpreted old structure. The volumes interact with each other, patios accompany the circulation, and every opening maintains a constant connection with the garden. Here, nature is not just a backdrop; it is an integral part of the home.

The entire property is organized around three independent buildings connected by outdoor walkways, evoking the spirit of Mediterranean hamlets as well as a modernized cabanon. This layout creates a free and fluid way of living, where everyone finds their own rhythm. The first building, covering about 105 m², retains the character of the original architecture.

It houses three bedrooms and several adaptable spaces that can evolve according to use: guest house, teen area, professional activity, or family reception. This autonomy fully contributes to the identity of the place.

The second building focuses on living spaces.

- An open kitchen connected to the living room, in a simple setting where architectural lines give full prominence to light.
- Large bay windows extend the views to an intimate patio, punctuated by the pool and terraces.
- The master suite, located on the ground floor with its bathroom, enjoys true independence.
- Upstairs, two bedrooms and a shower room complete this night area designed for comfortable family living.

Each volume maintains a direct relationship with the outdoors, allowing views, light, and the seasons to flow freely.

Separated from the reception areas, a third building houses an independent office extended upstairs by a large open space overlooking the vegetation. This area inspires multiple uses: creative studio, library, reading room, workspace, or wellness area.

The garden, planted with Mediterranean and exotic species, accompanies every movement and creates a succession of atmospheres alternating shade, light, and coolness. This constant connection with the landscape offers a rare quality of life right in the center of La Ciotat.

This architect-designed house is for those seeking a living space rather than just a property. An address where architecture dialogues with greenery, where the city remains accessible on foot without sacrificing tranquility, and where every space invites you to imagine a new way of living.
