1950s architecture, this 190 m² modernist house, labeled Remarkable Contemporary Architecture, is located on a 609 m² wooded plot in the musicians' district of Talence.     Designed by the architect Yves Salier in 1954, the original house has been perfectly preserved and partly enlarged with an extension substantially integrated into the whole in 2001. Separated from the street by a reception garden, the main volume of the house on two levels is composed of a rubble stone base topped with white rendering with transom glazing to reinforce the horizontality and flat colors in orange or green which enliven the Corbusian facade. A second volume on one level extends the house to the east, articulated around a glazed entrance. The kitchen is in a row, separated from the living space by a joinery element acting as a serving hatch, and completed by an original cast stainless steel sink top in perfect condition. The living room, with its black and white mosaic strip floor, extends onto a terrace beyond the floor-to-ceiling wooden bay windows, creating a unity between the interior and exterior. The walls clad in rubble or varnished wooden slats, and the original functional fireplace with storage are all vestiges of the 20th century that add to the charm of the house. Central to the room, the semi-open staircase with its minimalist black metal railing leads upstairs where a bright landing displays integrated storage in the same colors as the whole and distributes three bedrooms on the garden side, which share a bathroom. Facing the beautiful cedar tree in the middle of the garden, the perfectly integrated extension extends the L-shaped plan around the garden, and houses two bedrooms, a living room, a shower room and a laundry room. A brutalist outbuilding made of shuttered concrete faces the house with a sculptural and linear composition. Converted into an office, this pleasant space, with its glass corner opening onto a water lily pond, is also carefully thought out, with the added bonus of a set of wooden shelves complementing the raw concrete and the floor covered in slate tiles. A large garage, a carport and an outdoor kitchen complete this iconic ensemble.     A house where purist and brutalist language coexist.
