House Sauverny - 4 bedrooms - 220m²

DIVONNE SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY presents this remarkable property, whose architecture is distinguished by two key features. On the one hand, it draws on the traditional Alpine chalet, with its pitched roof, generous use of timber, clean rectangular form and carefully aligned windows. On the other, it avoids any folkloric touches, offering a resolutely contemporary interpretation characterised by vast open spaces, a seamless flow without unnecessary doors or partitions, and staircases that are both functional and elegant in design.

The house showcases fine materials selected for their harmonious palette, their affinity with local traditions and their practicality. The interior and exterior walls are finished with an earth-based render, creating a natural, warm texture. Grey volcanic stone features in the bathroom and on the skirting boards, while solid oak flooring extends throughout the living areas, creating a subtle transition between the warm tones of red cedar and the lighter shades of the other materials.

The architectural scheme centres on two dominant materials: red cedar and iron-grey metal, specially designed for this project. The strength of the design lies in its rectangular floor plan, dictated by the shape of the plot, and the discreet integration of large picture windows. These naturally extend the living spaces into the garden, while preserving privacy and offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape.

Designed by architect Thierry Alicot, this retreat, situated at the foot of the French Alps and close to the Swiss border, enjoys exceptional views of Mont Blanc. It offers a unique aesthetic experience at the crossroads of East and West, nature and architecture, intimacy and openness. To the east, a Japanese garden and, to the north, a subtly ground-lit pond planted with aquatic vegetation create a wonderfully serene green setting around the property.
