From the inside, a metal staircase provides access to the solarium on a roof covered in a layer of vegetation, offering a 360° view of the north of Montpellier. From the terrace of the living area, a few carefully placed steps allow access to the mirror pool, clad in Bali stones. Topography work was carried out between the natural land and stone furniture in order to create a welcoming space in the heart of the garden. This concrete exterior creates a link to the ground floor level and the swimming pool. The combination of proportions and integration gives the house a levitating effect.
From a construction point of view, we worked with a mixed structure (concrete and steel), allowing us to create large overhangs, combined with extensive glass volumes. Inside and out, we opted for raw and noble materials such as stone, wood and metal, to retain a warm and intimate atmosphere.
