A41056SEB29 - Exceptional 178 m² Architect-Designed Home in the Heart of the Historic Centre
Stunning Renovation & Extension by Carré Architecte – A Light-Filled Contemporary Masterpiece
Located on a charming, sloping street in Quimper’s hypercentre, this stone town house has been entirely redesigned and transformed in 2021 by the renowned Carré Architecte agency.
Originally created for a couple of art collectors, the property offers a true architectural promenade, blending sculptural volumes, contemporary lines, and abundant natural light.
A Remarkable Renovation – A Unique Living Space
What was once a traditional stone house has become an exceptional architectural home.
Multiple split levels, the angled gable, the sheltered courtyard terrace, and the bold extension all contribute to the building’s distinctive character.
Entry is via the lower street level into a large garage, and the home unfolds upwards like an interior walk-through experience, culminating in the striking zinc-and-glass attic that crowns the extension.
46 m² Contemporary Timber Extension
Designed to house a bright and generous master suite ideal for daytime reading or relaxation, the extension integrates harmoniously with the original structure.
Its bold geometry softens the neighbouring stone wall and creates an intimate atmosphere on the terrace.
Inside, a spectacular bathroom with a central island and oversized mirror receives beautiful natural light through its large picture window.
A short flight of steps leads to an airy mezzanine office, suspended beneath the glazed roof with transparent balustrades.
Refined Volumes & Fully Tailored Interior Design
The original house has been entirely redesigned to showcase its structure and maximise circulation:
double-height living room revealing the beautiful exposed beams
elegant flow between kitchen, dining room, and lounge
all interior elements designed to measure by the architect
standout feature: a sculptural white stair rail shaped like an unfolding arum flower
