CLM Hause

This extension is the result of the need to expand this house, located in the south of France and handed down from the family heritage.

Located at the foot of a lot with an elongated geometry, it enjoys its strategic position on top of a hill, with breathtaking views of the neighboring countries. We suggested making the extension to follow the geometric shape of the lot, in line with the courtyard in front. This perfectly contemporary construction takes the form of two horizontal slabs, placed on a base of locally sourced stone.

This horizontal arrangement is underlined by a generous line of glass, open to the landscape. From the inside, a metal staircase allows access to the solarium on a roof covered with a layer of vegetation, offering a 360 ° view over the north of Montpellier.

From the terrace of the living area, some carefully positioned steps allow access to the mirrored swimming pool, covered in Bali stones. The topography work was carried out between the natural terrain and stone furniture to create a welcoming space in the heart of the garden. This concrete exterior creates a connection to the ground floor and the pool. The combination of proportions and integration gives the house a levitating effect.

From the construction point of view we worked with a mixed structure (concrete and steel), which allowed us to create large protrusions, combined with large volumes of glass. Inside and out, we have opted for raw and noble materials such as stone, wood and metal, to maintain a warm and intimate atmosphere.
