Residential
Maison Nierlé
Authentic and understated
When the architect Edouard Nierlé acquired the plot in the small village of Veyrier at the foot of Mont Salève in 1960, an old blacksmith’s workshop built of natural stone still stood there. Given the site's confined conditions, Nierlé decided at the time to convert the existing building, preserving some of the original foundations and walls and devising an inventive solution for many of the remaining stones from the façades. The rest of the masonry stones were salvaged and cast into concrete, where they still adorn the façade today.
In the interior spaces, too, the architect surprised with original spatial concepts shaped by the avant-garde influences of his time.
To visually separate the lower part of the living room and the main bedroom from the rest of the ground floor, parquet flooring was laid there, giving the space an overall warmer, more convivial feel.
Our planks in the Villapark format were used as a design element and a deliberate contrast to the typical architecture of the 1960s, filling selected rooms with natural warmth.
