Balma — PBI CRUSH® Selection Ten kilometres east of the Capitole, Toulouse’s city centre gives way to the Balma district. Around the market, the canopy of plane trees filters the light onto the facades of the fairground-style brick buildings. The Aragon neighbourhood then unfolds its network of quiet streets. It is within this layout, inspired by the poet and his collection Les Yeux d’Elsa , that PIERRES-BLANCHES® unveils À l’ombre des oiseaux . THE ROOTS On the undulating hillsides, daily life revolves around the market stalls, sheltered beneath awnings. Residents stroll past one another at a leisurely pace, enjoy the cool shade of the willow trees in Parc de la Lisière, or linger in the afternoon on the golf course greens. Further up, the brick silhouettes of 16th-century estates serve as a reminder of these lands’ aristocratic past. Behind the thick hedges of the properties, the evening is defined by the quality of an enveloping light that bathes the gardens. THE SCALE OF THE LANDSCAPE Embodying a ‘neo-Toulouse’ architectural style, the residence creates a dialogue between its regional roots and modern spatial fluidity. Behind the façades, accentuated and punctuated by almond-coloured shutters, the property—set on a plot of 870 m²—is organised around large windows that allow the changing seasons to bring colour to the reception rooms. Clad in terracotta canal tiles, the roof finishes with a slight overhang, accentuated by rows of facing bricks. Flat and slender, these bricks mark the corner courses and the outlines of the openings. On the right-hand wing, a single-pitched lean-to casts its protective shade over the terrace. Tall hedges surround the garden to shield it from prying eyes, whilst never obstructing the view that stretches towards the horizon. GEOMETRY OF THE SPACES This 185 m² home exudes understated elegance, perfectly integrated into its wooded surroundings. Spanning two levels, the house features a harmonious layout where the spaces have been designed to combine functionality with family comfort. The 45 m² living room unfolds as an open-plan space, defined by the fluidity of the passageways and the brightness of the windows. Facing the garden, this reception area flows into a kitchen of over 16 m² with clean lines, designed to be a haven of tranquillity or to come alive with the rhythm of daily life. THE ART OF HOSTING The sleeping quarters are spread across both levels of the house, comprising three bedrooms and a bathroom. Each occupant finds their own space here, in a peaceful atmosphere conducive to rest. THE SHELL OF DREAMS Part of the upper floor is dedicated to the master suite. In this fluid layout, the bedroom, en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe come together to form a private sanctuary, bathed in natural light streaming through the windows. THE MERIDIANS OF THE SITE When the Toulouse sun lingers, the garden emerges as the house’s natural horizon. The seven-metre swimming pool fits seamlessly into the space, bordered by travertine paving whose mineral quality accentuates the waterline. Around this pool, outdoor life unfolds amidst the interplay of light and shadow. As a direct extension of the reception areas, the covered terrace transforms into an open-air living space as soon as the fine weather arrives. Lunches, evening gatherings or quiet reading sessions find a setting that looks out onto the garden, where the boundary between indoors and outdoors fades away to make way for a carefully crafted sense of continuity.
