Contemporary Architecture - 1975 - M.ROUSSEAU

ARCHITECTURE AS A WAY OF LIFE
Just a few minutes from Bayonne, in the heart of a confidential environment where nature dictates the rhythm of the seasons, this architect-designed villa from the 1970s stands as one of the finest expressions of residential modernism.
Set within a wooded park of nearly 2,900 m², fully buildable, the property enjoys a rare green setting where every opening interacts with the landscape. Here, the volumes fade behind the trees, allowing light, perspectives, and a true sense of intimacy to take center stage.
Upon arrival, the architecture asserts its identity. The taut lines of the roof, the wide overhangs, the immaculate facades punctuated with wood, the inverted level changes, and the long walkways recall the contemporary achievements of the 1970s, where functionality and elegance were one.
Inside, the spaces are organized around a generous reception room that opens widely onto the south-facing garden through impressive bay windows. The boundary between inside and outside disappears, offering a daily life bathed in light.
The original materials have been carefully preserved: earthenware, suspended sculptural staircase, graphic screens, traversing volumes... all signatures that give this house a timeless personality.
The layout remains remarkably current:
spacious living room opening onto the terraces, independent kitchen, two bedrooms with their own water points, generously sized family bathroom, independent office ideal for a professional activity or artist’s studio, garage, and numerous storage spaces.
Designed with several decades of foresight, this villa also offers remarkable potential for evolution. Its volumes, quality structure, and buildable land allow for various projects, whether it be a contemporary architectural renovation or a perfectly integrated extension.
Outside, the garden becomes a true extension of the home. The covered terraces invite outdoor living for much of the year, while the mature trees create a changing decor offering calm, shade, and intimacy.
This property will appeal to lovers of 1970s architecture, families seeking generous spaces, or enthusiasts eager to reveal the full potential of a house whose architectural fundamentals are particularly remarkable.
More than a house, a work of architecture to be reinvented with respect.
