Contemporary Timber Villa – Aix-les-Bains, Savoie

Contemporary bespoke timber residence in Aix-les-Bains. Sited in the prestigious thermal and lakeside town of Aix-les-Bains, this 160 sq m (1,720 sq ft) contemporary timber home—featuring a partially finished daylight basement—fully embodies our vision of sustainable, elegant, and warm alpine architecture. Crafted with precision timber frame wall panels and wrapped in a premium Western Red Cedar cladding, it represents the ideal harmony of modern design, superior thermal performance, and authentic natural materials.

The exposed solid timber structural elements indoors—load-bearing beams, architectural wood paneling, and interior joinery—dialogue gracefully with slimline aluminium window frames that provide strength, lightness, and clean modern sightlines. Expansive picture windows and floor-to-ceiling glass doors flood every room with exceptional natural light while capturing sweeping panoramic views of the Savoyard Alps and Lake Bourget.

The spacious and inviting great room is anchored by a sculptural central fireplace, creating a subtle visual zoning between lounging and dining areas while maintaining a continuous, open-plan flow. The designer open kitchen, generous ceiling heights, and refined wood finishes cultivate an atmosphere that is both resolutely contemporary and deeply welcoming.

This custom residence reflects the full spectrum of Vision Bois craftsmanship:

  • Meticulous artisanal attention to detail,
  • High-end bespoke timber frame engineering,
  • Architectural choices in perfect harmony with the alpine terrain,
  • An eco-conscious, low-carbon building approach.
