The Dock - Villa

The Dock offers a magnificent sunny living area thanks to its 40 m² fully glazed outdoor patio. Anchored to the hangar's original metallic framework, the villa has added a welcome touch of warmth. On the side facing the Jura range, a tree-planted lawn has been added to replace the original asphalt and lighten the industrial atmosphere.

The construction materials also allude to the industrial origins of the site: the villa has a primary metal framework around which a secondary wooden structure has been built. And brushed stainless steel, exposed concrete, and poured floors finished by sanding aesthetically round out the whole.

Covering 260 m², the villa preserves the original profile of the hangar but now has 7 rooms over 2 floors: the daytime areas are on the ground floor, and the bedrooms are on the second storey.

This configuration has made it possible to fuse the ground floor rooms into a single shared volume, from the den to the kitchen, the latter looking out onto the patio. The oversized exterior openings let light flow in from the patio, splendidly illuminating the interior and opening up bedrooms and other private areas.
