Architecture from the beginning of the 20th century, this traditional Bordeaux house and its outbuilding offer 160 m² of living space and are set on a plot of 234 m², organized around a swimming pool, in a quiet street close to the shops of the Barrière de Pessac.     Renovated and extended in 2015, the house is the result of a collaboration between architect Denis Latour and the owners, lovers of contemporary art. The project's approach was to open up the plan as much as possible in order to allow air and light to pass through the volumes and open onto the garden. Behind a beautiful blond stone facade, the entrance is organized around a custom-made piece of furniture serving as a wardrobe on one side and an office on the other before revealing the impressive volume of the living room. This, with its double height under the eaves and its set of roof windows, benefits from generous zenithal light that captures the sun from east to west. The space, which is entirely through, is free of any partition and creates a fluid succession of functions along its length - from the office to the living room, to the dining room - which, with the kitchen, are articulated around the exterior thanks to a fully glazed L-shaped facade. The white kitchen, adorned with a quartz countertop and a frosted glass splashback, discreetly recedes along one wall, allowing the gaze to be drawn towards the garden. The corner bay windows open completely, erasing the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. Fully retracted, they transform the kitchen bar into a convivial table for al fresco dining on sunny days. From the living room, a steel mezzanine delicately divides the space, almost imperceptible thanks to its black ironwork railing. A staircase with metal steps anchored in the wall leads upstairs, where a multipurpose space overlooks the living room and serves a guest bedroom with an open bathroom. Equipped with custom-made oak storage, the ground-floor bedrooms are accessible from the living room. A first bedroom with its private bathroom benefits from independent access via a reception garden to the west, while on the garden side, the master suite extends naturally towards the wooden terrace around the swimming pool, where the vegetation contrasts with the black-stained cladding. Located at the back of the plot, an outbuilding of approximately 11 m² houses an additional bedroom to receive guests as if in a hotel. The bed is raised on a platform above a freestanding bathtub that faces the garden and the swimming pool. A laundry room, a cellar and a technical room complete the ensemble, as well as the possibility of acquiring a detached garage, reinforcing the practical aspect of this exceptional property.     A friendly house with hotel services, ideal for relaxation.
