Design of an urban villa at Bordeaux-Bastide in an urban block

A couple with an entrepreneurial spirit has purchased a former storage building in the heart of Bordeaux Bastide development, a stone’s throw from the Sainte-Marie-de-la Bastide church. On one side, the building is adjacent to an existing structure; on the other, it opens onto a garden. The owners’ ideal is to live in an intimate microcosm sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the city.<br /> <br /> To attain this goal, we fully exploited the Local Urbanisation Plan to maximise the site’s potential. On the garden site, all spaces are designed with glass walls to create a discreet boundary between inside and outside. The family’s facilities, including a spa, lounge, dining room, and glazed car park, are on the ground floor, with the motorcars in full view, thanks to a glass corridor to link the distinct areas.<br /> <br /> The first floor is designated for private spaces, such as bedrooms and bathrooms. The roof terrace, located above, features a solarium, swimming pool, and summer kitchen, perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying long summer evenings with friends.<br /> <br />
