A flat designed by Ciguë studios in a 1920s villa on a 2.5-hectare commonhold property, with access to the Fontainebleau forest, in Barbizon - ref 253
A flat designed by Ciguë studios in a 1920s villa on a 2.5-hectare commonhold property, with access to the Fontainebleau forest, in Barbizon.
Located 55 kilometres southeast of Paris and rapidly accessible via the A6 motorway, the property is on the outskirts of the painters' village of Barbizon and surrounded by a 2.5-hectare verdant and landscaped enclosed property, which includes - besides the seven contemporary and environmentally friendly houses nestled within its forested section - the "Grand Villa", in which four one-of-a-kind flats will be created. Conveniently located, the village's shopping streets are only four minutes away by bicycle or 15 on foot. In addition, the commonhold property also has private access to the Fontainebleau forest via two wooden gates that communicate with the "boundary path" - the link between the forest and the most beautiful villas in Barbizon - which leads, through the woods, to the village's central main street as well as other breath-taking sites within this natural treasure.
With floor areas ranging from 116 to 128 m², the villa's flats provide a living environment where the boundary between the interior and exterior is carefully blurred, while the architecture, conceived by Ciguë studios, recognised for its emblematic creations from Paris to Tokyo, is harmoniously cohesive with its natural environment. With a range of architectural elements from the 1920s, the spaces have been enhanced by a variety of details, crafted in a style that is both understated and natural.
Each flat is designed and decorated in a unique manner with many outdoor spaces - patios, balconies and gardens, to name just a few. In addition, the estate's layout prioritises peace and quiet as well as soft mobility: an inconspicuous drive, which borders the estate, leads to the dwellings as well as a car park. As for those who enjoy walking, a majestic lane, baptised "La Lisière" ("The Border") by the designers and lined by plane trees, traverses the commonhold property, followed by a path dedicated to strolling and soft mobility, reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, which also has direct access to the Fontainebleau forest. This greenway is emblematic of the site's spirit: the importance of reconnecting with nature. Furthermore, each flat has access to the Grand Villa's private garden, of approximately 5,600 m², a true extension of the flats' living space. Residents also share common facilities and amenities, such as the eco-friendly swimming pool, which uses a pond filtration system, as well as shared vegetable gardens designed in order to prioritise collective living that is both friendly and respectful of the surrounding environment.
