Full Description
The perfect blend of outstanding energy efficiency, contemporary design and everyday comfort.
If you appreciate sustainable architecture and generous spaces, discover this architect-designed, single-storey home offering 160 m² of living space and a bioclimatic design, with an Energy Performance Certificate (DPE) rating of A.
Designed to live in harmony with nature, this ecological home is built around a highly efficient passive design. Ideally oriented 80% south and 20% east, its spectacular south-facing, fully glazed façade captures solar heat to warm the interior naturally in winter. In summer, a precisely calculated roof overhang fully protects the interior from overheating, keeping it naturally cool without air conditioning.

A magnificent 80 m² living area, filled with natural light through five impressive glazed doors that blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors.
An exceptional 32 m² principal suite, a true retreat comprising a spacious bedroom, a large bespoke dressing room, a private shower room and a separate toilet.
A dedicated sleeping area with two attractive 14 m² bedrooms, a second contemporary shower room and a separate toilet.
A practical utility room / pantry completes the interior layout.
UNIQUE OUTDOOR SPACES DESIGNED FOR EVERY SEASON

North side: An 80 m² shaded terrace welcomes you at the entrance to the home, offering a wonderfully cool retreat on hot summer days.
To be completed: surfacing of your choice and pool equipment / filtration.
