270 m²
La Bastide, Bordeaux
19th-century architecture, this former factory converted into a 270 m² loft-style house is situated on a 375 m² plot in the heart of the Bastide district, on the right bank of Bordeaux.
Transformed in 2017, the space was structured on two levels, taking care to retain the impressive volumes of the original building with a fine blend of industrial features and contemporary comfort.
Beyond the stone facade, the immense patio is revealed, which feels like a buffer zone between the street and the house.
A few brick steps lead up to the entrance, which features built-in storage and opens onto a spacious living area with a double-height ceiling and a beautifully crafted Polonceau metal-framed structure. The living room is situated along a double-height, workshop-style glass facade and is centered around a wood-burning stove. The dining area is nestled beneath the upper floor's timber frame for added privacy. The open-plan kitchen, slightly set back, is separated from the living area by a black granite bar with wood paneling, creating a unified aesthetic against the terracotta brick wall. An adjoining storage and laundry room connects to the entrance. On the other side of the expansive glass facade lies a charming terrace of over 80 square meters facing east . Formerly built, this space surrounded by stone walls has been gutted, keeping the metal frame trusses under the open sky, a true outdoor room sheltered from view and embellished by the greenery of Virginia creeper and giant ferns.
Also on the ground floor, a first suite with its dressing room and shower room enjoys an unobstructed view of the surrounding greenery. A metal staircase with oak treads leads to the upper level, which features a large open mezzanine overlooking the living room and offering unobstructed views through the living room's bay windows. A true bridge, this space connects, on one side, a master suite with built-in storage and a bathroom, designed as a glass box, and on the other, a room that could serve as a home cinema and an open office nestled against the glass facade. All of this is tucked away under the sloping roof, maximizing the exposure of the timber frame, a reminder of the building's industrial past.
Finally, an independent studio of approximately 25 m² located on the upper floor facing the street completes this prestigious property.
A reception courtyard for parking three vehicles.
A complex that perfectly combines the intimacy of a place steeped in history with the dynamism of a rapidly developing neighborhood.
