Leman Pie
Project Description
The site is one of three adjoining plots and has a total area of 1,199 m².
Access is provided via a private driveway, slightly elevated above the Route de Bourg. A mature belt of trees screens the property, preserving privacy while creating a discreet approach to the house.
The north-west facing frontage follows a simple linear composition, opening onto panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and, in the distance, Lake Geneva. This layout also frees up a generous south-facing landscaped garden accommodating the swimming pool.
The architectural composition is based on two simple, carefully proportioned volumes. Generous roof overhangs reduce the visual impact of the pitched clay-tile roofs required by local planning regulations, giving the house a contemporary and elegant architectural expression.
The connecting volume between the two main wings, measuring less than 10 m², is intentionally understated and is designed with a flat roof to reinforce the clarity of the composition.
The natural slope of the site has been carefully incorporated into the design in full compliance with local planning regulations. A spacious four-car garage is located on the lower level, slightly below the access road, providing level access from the rear of the property. Two additional floor levels follow the natural topography, allowing the house to sit harmoniously within the landscape.
