Further information
Almost every detail of the detached house from 1954, from the colour scheme to the water tap, has been preserved in its original state and was carefully renovated in 2002-2014. This refurbishment shows that today's resources make it possible to achieve a sustainable overall refurbishment while preserving the original building fabric and atmosphere.
The house captivates with its intensive relationship to the garden, its flowing geometries and its multicoloured materials, which have been preserved to this day. With its free combination of traditional and Classic Modernism building elements, typical of the period, it creates an undogmatic, cheerful cosiness.
