Montpellier — PBI Collection® Selection Set between the bustling city of Montpellier and the blue line of the Mediterranean coastline, the PIERRESBLANCHES® architectural practice presents ‘Résonnance de l'épure.’ This 19thcentury mansion, whose original structure has been stabilised and then transformed by a renovation of surgical precision. This residence bears witness to a heritage in flux, creating a dialogue between the historical fabric of the 19th century and the graphic tension of contemporary design. The Continuity of Line The architecture is part of the rhythm of the Languedoc landscape, on the edge of the urban world and the ponds. Heritage forms the raw material of the project, where the density of the historic walls contrasts with the clarity of contemporary volumes. The Geometry of Volumes Set within an 8,000 m² site, the residence is organised around a landscaped park where centuriesold trees form an organic structure. This layer of vegetation frames the views and creates an acoustic richness which, through its density, defines the sensory boundary of the estate. The Art of Transition The architectural design redistributes the 500 m² of living space according to a logic of fluidity. The reception area, a vast 80 m² space, is organised into sequences of light where the living rooms and dining room flow seamlessly into one another. Beneath majestic high ceilings, the original fireplaces and textures remain as historical anchors, engaging in dialogue with furniture of clean, sharp lines. Extending from the reception areas, the 25 m² kitchen space asserts itself through the rigour of an Italian design featuring broken lines. Innovation takes a back seat to formal purity, where function is no longer a technical constraint but becomes an object of aesthetic contemplation. The ground floor incorporates a second 25 m² living room, designed as a retreat or private reception area. This room, on a more intimate scale, offers flexibility of use without disrupting the structural coherence of the living space. The addition of a private bathroom ensures complete autonomy on the ground floor, without ever disrupting the flow of the main circulation routes. In Praise of Retreat The upper floor, a true haven of serenity, houses a 70 m² Master Suite. The bathroom, designed with a sense of the sacred, prioritises the purity of materials over ornamentation. A private terrace, a weightless belvedere, extends the infinite views over the park, blurring the boundary between stone and greenery. The Art of Hospitality This first level features a second 40 m² suite, centred around a private lounge and a bathroom, complemented by a third generously sized bedroom. The ascent continues to the second floor, which reveals a 60 m² space with a shower room. This area is defined as a space of endless possibilities. The property features a selfcontained apartment, whose access from the outside and via a discreet landing on the first floor creates an ideal layout for accommodating domestic staff, ensuring complete independence, or hosting guests. The Scale of the Landscape Outside, the grounds, a vast setting of nearly 8,000 m², stretch out like a landscape in their own right—rare and deeply inspiring. At the heart of this organic tableau, the 15metre swimming pool stretches like an aquamarine link. The pool house, designed as a balance between light and shade, completes a spatial arrangement where every detail reaffirms the estate’s enduring character. The Meridians of the Site Montpellier East. Built in the late 19th century, this mansion has stood the test of time with rare elegance. Its recent renovation has successfully preserved its original character by establishing a careful balance between classical design and the demands of contemporary comfort. The estate is situated at the heart of a fluid landscape, offering immediate access to infrastructure, the airport, TGV stations and major transport routes, whilst placing the coastline and key business hubs within easy reach.
