The House Without an Inner Boundary

In Anglet, two kilometers from the ocean and close to a golf course, this contemporary property occupies a walled, wooded park across 900 square meters of living space. The flat roof and its generous cantilever form a continuous canopy along the entire south facade: the sliding pocket doors vanish into the walls, and the 120 square meter living room extends seamlessly onto the terrace. A water feature runs along the facade and meets the infinity pool, as if the architecture and the water followed the same gesture.

Ten rooms, eight en suite bedrooms, an independent annex: the scale here opens a rare freedom of distribution, between the main house and its outbuildings, between hosting and retreating. The Bidache stone flooring, level and unbroken between indoors and out, together with the reversible underfloor heating, keep the house at an even temperature through every season. The summer kitchen under the canopy, the screening room, the wine cellar and the hammam add uses that require no improvising.
