A Contemporary architect-designed house overlooking Lyon
In the sought-after Monts d’Or area, architects Vielliard & Francheteau have delivered a resolutely contemporary home boasting one of the finest views of Lyon. True to their signature, the architectural duo have gone for the essentials: concrete slabs for the roof and terraces, under which panoramic bay windows slide, opening up the living areas to the outdoors and the landscape.
A Residential Architecture fully integrated into its landscaped surroundings
The judicious integration of the volumes into the steep slope of the land avoids any mass effect. The lines of the villa, which follow the contours of the land, create a staircase-like effect that fits naturally into the slope of the site.
The interior architecture favors natural light, which is everywhere present thanks to the choice of large bay windows on the front of the house, offering the villa the absolute luxury of an unobstructed view over the city of Lyon, with the Alps in the background.
A Customized, High-end Interior Design
On the first floor, overlooking the main terrace and pool area, the central double-height living room reveals the full interior dimension of the house. Continuing on, an open-plan kitchen with central island takes advantage of the dominant view. The master suite and bathroom complete the eastern part of the level, which can function as an independent apartment on the upper floor. On this level, 3 en suite bedrooms and a mezzanine office open onto a second terrace level with exceptional views.
Outside, the base of the house has been converted into a fitness and home-cinema area, with a luxury car space and wine cellar. Externally, the lower part of the villa is clad in the golden stone typical of the Monts d’Or region. The flat green roof overhangs the bay windows, helping to integrate the project into this privileged environment near Lyon.
