Paris and Bordeaux-based architectural practice, Debarre Duplantiers Associés, has designed the Villa Seignosse project. Completed in 2013, this contemporary home, which is located in Seignosse, France, features a classic Bauhaus inspired exterior.
This contemporary French villa is set on the edge of Europe’s largest forest. Pine trees form an irregular skyline at the horizon of Seignosse, which is famed for its surfing in the south west of France.
According to the architects: “Facing not the sea but a pond on the south, the house contrasts with its surroundings by its orthogonal and white volumes. Open to nature, its facade protects the intimacy of its owners on the street side.
“Interior design spaces include a large living room that leads into an open kitchen and a flexible office space, while setting a fireplace in the middle of a glazed facade. A large wooden deck extends the interior space to the garden and to the pool. Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys a 360° view, with a south terrasse and a large bathroom.
“Bauhaus like facades freeze its architecture in a timeless zone. This solid and elegant architectural vocabulary may help facing the ever changing nature, from surfing waves to green pine trees.”
