Modernist Villa -1968 - Paul Dremilly

Property Description

In the immediate vicinity of the city center, this contemporary villa inspired by Californian architecture is located on a plot of 590m2. Built in 1968, it is the work of the architect Paul Dremilly, to whom we owe the original Temple of Saint-Georges-de-Didonne. Composed of 2 cubic volumes juxtaposed and suspended by a set of overhangs in the corners, the concrete construction is pierced on the facade by multiple discreet openings, letting in beautiful light. Organized on 2 levels, the 244m2 villa follows a double rectangular plan and offers a clear reading of the volumes. From the entrance, the graphic staircase highlighted with materials and colors invites you to access the 1st floor. The central landing distributes for this level a large reception space with a dining kitchen clad in black granite, a dining area, extended by a fire area. The night area offers 2 bedrooms, 1 shower room and Wc. A large office with access to a small terrace rises above the entrance, like a lodge overlooking the street. In a subtle way, the original claustra makes an architectural nod to the rest of the building. The ground floor is converted into an independent apartment with a large living room and vintage kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 1 shower room. A laundry room, large cellar and double garages complete the package. The whole is embellished with mahogany interior fittings made to measure during construction. In this project, the architect affirms his belonging to the Royan modern movement. This rare property benefits from a privileged location to reach the center of Royan on foot.
