California-Inspired Villa

Property Description

EXCLUSIVE – Signed by a renowned Lyon architectural firm, this contemporary property of 365 m² presents a rare approach to living where architecture, light and landscape continually engage in dialogue. Built with a full concrete structure and realized without compromise, it mobilized some of the most renowned craftsmen in their field to achieve an unusually high level of execution. Every detail, every material and every volume has been designed with absolute rigor. At first glance, the architecture reveals its ambition. A vast 68 m² garage is complemented by an elegant double carport crowned by a spectacular circular oculus traversing the concrete slab. A true open-air architectural sculpture, this emblematic element immediately signals the project’s level of rigor and sophistication. The inverted architecture reveals on the first level three bedrooms broadly open to the landscape. Between pervasive vegetation, unobstructed perspectives and a view of Fourvière in the background, each space maintains a privileged connection with its natural environment. Two bathrooms complete this level. A staircase with clean lines leads then to the heart of the house. Developing close to 80 m², the reception area impresses with its volumes, fluidity and complete openness to the terraces. Organized around a remarkable landscaped patio, the true backbone of the project, the house benefits from pervasive light that accompanies each space throughout the day. Remarkable joinery at full height with minimalist profiles erase the boundaries between interior and exterior and naturally extend living spaces toward the terraces, the landscaped patio and the surrounding landscape. The Modulnova kitchen, enhanced by an impressive nearly six-meter ceramic worktop and fully integrated V-ZUG appliances, harmoniously dialogues with the reception spaces. The finishes selected from the finest Italian houses, integrated furniture and finishes attest to a level of execution rarely seen. On this same level sit two independent offices as well as a spectacular 52 m² master suite conceived as a true private suite. The lower level houses a private cinema, a gym and a space designed to accommodate a custom wine cellar, offering additional possibilities for layout. Outside, the landscaping is an essential component of the architectural project. The carefully selected plant species create an elegant and soothing atmosphere around the expansive terraces and the remarkable overflow pool, perfectly integrated into the whole. Double-flow VMC, low-consumption underfloor heating, home automation, comprehensive security and state-of-the-art equipment complete this exceptional ensemble. A rare architectural achievement on the Lyon market, where design quality, attention to detail and execution excellence are expressed without fanfare.
