Nestled on the shores of Lake Versant Clair, the house combines discretion and brilliance in an architectural composition that is both gentle and assertive. From the street, it presents a delicate appearance: a simple volume, topped with a white gabled roof, is clad in nearly white wood siding that subtly captures the light. The slightly recessed and sheltered entrance, along with the integrated garage highlighted by an angular roof overhang, contribute to this discreet, almost silent facade.

At the rear, the house opens fully onto the landscape: a spectacular glass facade lets the lake into the living space.

A simple concrete walkway runs alongside the house and leads directly to the water, extending the living experience right to the shore. The house is a celebration of light, tranquility, and the intimate relationship between architecture and nature.

On the lake side, a lounge balcony juts out gracefully, a true extension of the outdoor living space. Protected by delicately perforated sunshades, it offers both privacy and openness: views are filtered, light filters through. These cleverly positioned screens preserve the tranquility of the space while allowing glimpses of the landscape to be seen in fragments.

From the air, the house blends seamlessly into the landscape: below, the lake stretches peacefully, bordered by gentle hills that close the horizon. The light-filled volume of the house captures the light, and the distinctive angle of the garage roof stands out sharply, asserting the project's identity. At the front, a parking area paved with openwork cobblestones demonstrates an attention to the environment: rainwater percolates naturally, without any break in the connection with the ground. The whole is integrated with restraint and elegance, both rooted in and open to its surroundings.
