Back to School - REAL ESTATE CLASS

Homework for the coming weeks

Technology
You are required to design a loft / industrial-style home: open-plan spaces, clean lines, neutral tones - grey, brown, black, wood... - and minimalist furnishings. Explain your choices of materials and interior design in detail: metal pendant lights, galvanised ventilation ducts, aluminium window frames, exposed brickwork and steel beams for that New York feel, anthracite walls, Maurienne stone, flooring (real wood or tiles?)... Leave no detail overlooked.

Mathematics
Exercise 1: Consider a property with a total living area of 234 m² spread over two floors: 127 m² on the ground floor and 107 m² upstairs. Now consider an 80 m² living area comprising a cathedral-ceilinged lounge, living room and kitchen. Who gets to occupy the ground-floor bedroom with its own shower room and dressing room?
Exercise 2: A 1,000 m² plot includes two additional features: a double garage with a technical room, covering approximately 45 m², and a 6 x 6 m swimming pool. There is also a 170 m² courtyard at the entrance to the property. What percentage of the total area is left for the children - or their four-legged companions - to run around and play ?

Geography
From your panoramic vantage point, whether in the "playground" or the "rest area", the dining room or your office, name as many of the surrounding peaks as you can spot across the Chartreuse, Bauges, Belledonne, Lauzière and Mont-Blanc mountain ranges.

Physics
Based on the energy performance rating (DPE: A) and greenhouse gas emissions rating (GES: A) of a contemporary villa (built in 2020), measuring 235 m² and perfectly insulated both thermally and acoustically, with excellent ventilation and one of the most efficient heating systems available - a heat pump offering heating only, while also being easily capable of providing cooling - estimate the annual energy costs based on standard usage.

French
Translate page 55 of your book "Le vocabulaire de l'immobilier pour les Nuls - Français, 1re année' qui commence par : 'Une passerelle en mezzanine mène aux chambres. Steve se trouve sur la passerelle. Il a choisi la chambre située le plus à l'ouest, l'une des deux chambres bénéficiant du charme supplémentaire d'une terrasse privée."
Clue: this concerns the bedrooms and an exceptional private space. Internet translation tools are not allowed.

English
In no more than 500 words, describe your dream home and put it into context. For example, you could explain how long you have been looking for it, which criteria matter most to you, where you might be willing to compromise, and which features are essential or simply nice to have.
Feel free to imagine your future life there with your partner, your children, pets, friends... and share your dream.
