PIERRESBLANCHES IMMOBILIER® Montpellier PBI Crush Situated south of Montpellier, within a coastal plain whose agricultural history dates back to antiquity, this property enjoys a privileged setting in the immediate vicinity of the Mediterranean beaches. A converted former wine storehouse, this building is the result of a meticulous architectural restoration. The contemporary villa offers a living area of approximately 185 m², opening onto a 300 m² garden with welltended vegetation and a swimming pool. The entrance reveals a space characterised by a striking sense of verticality. The exposed metal structure punctuates the high ceilings and gives the space a unique architectural identity. The diffusion of light, provided by large bay windows and skylights, highlights the texture of the materials and the clean lines of the structure. At the heart of the residence, a 70 m² reception room is organised as a fluid space. Its open layout allows for a free distribution of functions without disrupting the unity of the volume. The living room opens onto a direct view of the terrace and swimming pool, whilst the dining room forms a natural extension of this main space. The kitchen, with its minimalist lines, is centred around a central island, whose generous dimensions define the space for food preparation and socialising. The combination of mineral surfaces and metal creates a coherent colour scheme, respectful of the building’s original character. Set back, yet remaining within the living room’s field of view, a workspace is screened off behind a glass partition. This transparency ensures functional zoning without disrupting the spatial continuity that defines the space’s identity. The ground floor features a 20 m² master bedroom suite with a walkin wardrobe. Facing the terrace, it benefits from a constant supply of natural light and direct access to the outdoors. A shower room completes this level. Upstairs, a 20 m² mezzanine overlooks the living room. This recessed space offers a bird’seye view of the building’s structure and extends the architectural interpretation of the main volume. Suspended above the main volume, this gallery offers an axial view of the living room and the outdoors. Overhead light, diffused through roof openings, ensures constant brightness. The grid of steel beams emphasises the building’s structure and gives the space a strong visual identity. The second floor comprises two bedrooms of balanced proportions, served by a comfortably sized shared bathroom. The outdoor spaces extend the living room’s perspective. A wooden terrace surrounds a 6metrelong pond, whose mineralbased paving in deep tones ensures a nuanced diffusion of light. This garden, shielded from view, serves as an outdoor reception area where the carefully tended vegetation guarantees complete privacy. The Plus: The Plus: The renovation incorporates technical features combining the comfort of ducted air conditioning with the cosiness of a woodburning stove. A garageworkshop completes the property’s functional aspects. Ideally situated, the property enjoys a rare central location combining immediate proximity to urban amenities with optimal access to the heart of Montpellier, the metropolitan transport hubs and the coast. Our Opinion: La Résurgence du Chai® Blending heritage with modernity, this former wine cellar reinterprets the codes of industrial architecture to emerge as a unique contemporary residence. Its radical volumetry, the constant influx of overhead light and the meticulous selection of materials define a coherent architectural whole, whose rarity marks the culmination of an exceptional renovation. ‘An Authentic and Contemporary Vision of Luxury Property.’ Franck Ballester ® ANY INSPIRATION, MODIFICATION OR REPRODUCTION IS PROHIBITED REGISTERED TRADEMARK Reference file Chrystèle Guigui +33 (0)6 ([[please use the form to respond ]]) Rsac Montpellier ([[please use the form to respond ]])
