Contemporary architect-designed timber home in Saint-Alban-Leysse, Savoie – 185 sq m of light, nature, and comfort.
Located in Saint-Alban-Leysse, near Chambéry at the gateway to the Bauges regional park, this 185 sq m (1,990 sq ft) contemporary timber home was conceived to celebrate its natural surroundings, offering a warm, light-filled haven perfectly attuned to alpine living.
Designed as a single-storey residence, this bespoke build unites architectural refinement and everyday functionality. It features an expansive, sun-drenched open-concept living area, an independent private bedroom wing, and a thoughtfully planned layout angled toward panoramic views of the surrounding alpine massifs.
The hand-selected Western Red Cedar timber cladding imparts a natural, warm, and exceptionally durable aesthetic. In contrast, architectural aluminium joinery and floor-to-ceiling glass walls emphasize the home's contemporary identity while ensuring an effortless visual connection with the outdoors.
An infinity swimming pool gracefully extends the residence into the landscaped garden, creating an idyllic retreat with unobstructed vistas of the Savoyard peaks. The generous covered timber deck acts as an outdoor summer living room, sheltered by an elegant solid wood post-and-beam timber structure.
Inside, minimalist lines, flowing volumes, authentic timber accents, and omnipresent natural light foster an ambiance that is both decidedly modern and deeply welcoming. Every detail—from the concrete-effect architectural tiled floors to the designer kitchen with a central island—has been curated to elevate daily comfort and aesthetic harmony.
