125 m²
Centre-Bras de Marne, Saint-Maurice
An architect-designed house with 125 m², three bedrooms and a garage in Saint-Maurice, ten minutes from Paris. The house, with a floor area of approximately 150 m², 125 m² of which are inhabitable, is located off of a paved staircase, reminiscent of Montmartre and a favourite among athletes for their training sessions. Only a few minutes from the Bois de Vincennes by foot, sheltered from view and sandwiched between nature and the city, the multi-level dwelling, designed by the architect and owner of the property, stretches from one end of the lot to the other, bringing to mind the horizontal 'peach walls' that were once ubiquitous in the area. <br />In addition, its different levels, alternating between enclosed and open spaces, provide abundant light, whereas the property itself incorporates a bioclimatic design, with its lower section occupied by a garden screened from the sun, and its upper portion made up of an immense patio with abundant vegetation. As for the roof's steep overhang on its southern side, it provides much needed shade in the summer months, while the house's exterior is coated in thick lime plaster and topped with an Ile-de-France flat tile roof. With underfloor heating, the house also comes with a wood-burning stove, which helps increase the house's cosiness come winter, as well as a garage.
