An architect-designed house with 125 m², three bedrooms and a garage in Saint-Maurice, ten minutes from Paris.
The house, with a floor area of approximately 150 m², 125 m² of which are inhabitable, is located off of a paved staircase, reminiscent of Montmartre and a favourite among athletes for their training sessions. Only a few minutes from the Bois de Vincennes by foot, sheltered from view and sandwiched between nature and the city, the multi-level dwelling, designed by the architect and owner of the property, stretches from one end of the lot to the other, bringing to mind the horizontal "peach walls" that were once ubiquitous in the area.
In addition, its different levels, alternating between enclosed and open spaces, provide abundant light, whereas the property itself incorporates a bioclimatic design, with its lower section occupied by a garden screened from the sun, and its upper portion made up of an immense patio with abundant vegetation. As for the roof's steep overhang on its southern side, it provides much needed shade in the summer months, while the house's exterior is coated in thick lime plaster and topped with an Ile-de-France flat tile roof. With underfloor heating, the house also comes with a wood-burning stove, which helps increase the house's cosiness come winter, as well as a garage.
Upper Mezzanine LevelThe front door, located on the northern side of the house and accessible after ascending a few steps from the garden, opens onto a foyer lined with floor-to-ceiling cupboards on the left, thereby creating aesthetic unity in this space designed for everyday convenience. To the right, is a television room and a study, while this floor of 25 m² faces the garden planted with trees and flowers and communicates with the living room below, providing a cross-sectional view between the interior and exterior.Garden LevelA second level of nearly 62 m², facing south and looking out onto the courtyard, is connected to the upper mezzanine level by a couple of steps. Composed of a kitchen with a dining room of more than 25 m² and an adjacent living room of more than 36 m², the whole, facing the upper mezzanine level, enjoys abundant light thanks to its tall wood-framed, turn and tilt windows, shaded by net curtains, which ensures, on the house's courtyard side, the privacy of its living areas.
As for the open-plan and innovative layout of the house's two initial floors, it ensures transparency and fluid circulation between the courtyard and the garden.Lower Mezzanine LevelThis level includes the main suite, which contains a bedroom of a little more than 8 m², the privacy of which is ensured by a sliding door, while a long hallway extends the space and leads to a private shower room. In addition, a small corridor of more than 4 m² is lined with windows along one of its walls, which look out onto the lower part of the garden.
As for the other side of the hallway, it contains a laundry room, a built-in cupboard and a separate lavatory.First FloorThis includes two spacious, dual-aspect bedrooms on either side with approximately 18 and 16 m², respectively, while a hallway of nearly 3 m², lined with cupboards, connects the two rooms. In addition, a shower room with lavatory provides complete autonomy for this floor.The GardenWith approximately 93 m², the garden includes an initial lower patio, adjacent to the lower mezzanine floor, in order to create an outdoor space sheltered from the sun's intense rays, while an upper section, with a verdant patio, makes it possible for its owners to enjoy ...
