Architect-designed house on the banks of the Marne

On one of the most secluded and coveted addresses along the Marne River, this characterful house commands an almost theatrical attention with its surrounding landscape. Built upon an early 20th-century foundation and then entirely reimagined by an architect, this 120-square-meter property cultivates a rare aesthetic language in the area: bold, artistic, and deeply inhabited.

Here, nothing is smooth. Nothing is conventional. Everything tells a story. The vision of owners passionate about art, perspective, staging, and contrasts. Admirers of Versailles for its rigor and monumentality, and sensitive to the sensuality of South American influences, they have crafted a place in their own image: free, sophisticated, and intensely personal.

In front of the house, 1,010 square meters of wooded grounds stretch towards the Marne in a spectacular composition. Staircases, vistas, statues, and mineral remnants--the garden at times evokes a contemporary reinterpretation of the French formal garden. And then there is the view. Omnipresent and magnetic.

From the house, the gaze glides over the canopy, follows the meanders of the Marne River, and captures the shifting light that transforms the landscape from morning till night. The ground floor features a nearly 60-square-meter living area, entirely open and bathed in light. Generous volumes, an open kitchen, clean lines, a sculptural fireplace, immense bay windows--each element contributes to an immediate feeling of spaciousness and openness. The indoor-outdoor effect is constant. Nature doesn't just surround the house; it interacts with it. A first terrace, nestled in the greenery, extends the living spaces like an additional open-air room.

Upstairs, two bedrooms benefit from remarkable light and spectacular views of the surrounding area. One opens onto a suspended balcony overlooking the landscape. The architectural style of the place reveals its full singularity here. A completely unexpected element immediately catches the eye: a raw rock, deliberately left exposed, seems to pierce the architecture and penetrate the interior space.

A spectacular intervention that blurs the lines between mineral material, dwelling, and work of art. An almost Mediterranean scene, somewhere between a Greek house and a contemporary gallery. The bathroom, meanwhile, extends this same aesthetic with a minimalist, refined, and resolutely designer approach.

The top floor houses a third bedroom with its own bathroom, conceived as a more self-contained space. Finally, at the summit, a solarium overlooks the entire property with a spectacular panoramic view of Bry-sur-Marne, the river, and its verdant horizons.

Below, a private dock completes the experience. Kayaking at sunrise. Paddleboarding at sunset. Weekends spent on the water.

The feeling of leaving Paris without ever truly leaving it. A large garden shed and a carport of approximately 26 sqm complete the property and provide shelter for several vehicles. A truly unique place, for lovers of architecture, light, and houses that tell a story. Just minutes from the Bry bridge, the renowned shops of Le Perreux-sur-Marne, and all amenities, in a remarkably peaceful setting.
