19th Century House Completely Renovated By Architect With Swimming Pool

In the commune of Fontaines-sur-Saône, this 19th-century house has been literally transformed into an exceptional 261sqm family cocoon with a swimming pool and pool house. The garden level unfolds the living areas over 147sqm around the staircase, focusing all its design energy on natural light.

Thus, the volumes have opened up onto the 7,000sqm plot, leaving no blind spaces. Particularly the dining room, located in the original extension. This new room has shed its false ceiling to reclaim the hidden three meters of height. Even the staircase has been freed of its multiple invasive storage spaces to optimize circulation between the living room and the entrance hall. The latter, worthy of its name, is a testament to the interior designer's handcrafted layout. Behind the facades punctuated by wooden profiles, the storage spaces are brimming with imagination and capacity to meet the needs of the family. An ingenious design that transforms into a playground on the children's floor. Everything has been designed to allow them to roam around in a playful world, like the bathroom, which integrates, under the eaves, a trio of school-style sinks, a shower, and a bathtub. Or the boys' bedrooms, connected by an airlock that absorbs all the shared storage. This clever trick allows the sleeping area to be naturally decluttered and maximizes precious square meters, to the benefit of generous beds and desks. Under the roof frame, the master suite sits comfortably on 36m2. Within this entirely created volume, the interior designer gives voice to transversality. At the center of the considerations: the bathroom space flattered by a guard of honor dressed in ash veneer concealing the storage and sanitary facilities. This illuminated configuration highlights a subtle graphic canvas composed of millimetric vertical and horizontal paneling softened by the roundness of the sanitary elements. This successful renovation, magnified by a plot of 8,600m2, is the dream location for families looking for space and high-end renovation.
