7.5 room House in L'Abergement

Introduction
First impression upon entering: the gaze rises upwards. The living room extends up to the roof ridge, traversed by the light coming from a glazed opening in the roof ridge, and a helical staircase in beech winds its way in the center like a sculpted piece. Built in 2005 by an architect, this individual 200 m² villa offers spaces that are rarely encountered, in a preserved rural setting, just a few minutes from Orbe.

The Situation
Orbe in 5 minutes, Yverdon-les-Bains in 15, Lausanne in 30, with quick access to the A1. You are in a real village in the North Vaudois, calm and turned towards nature, at the foot of the Suchet. Local shopping and artisanal bread from the communal oven on site, schools and complete shops just a few minutes away.

The Architecture
The house is organized around a large living room open to the full height of the roof, bathed in natural light. The wooden structure remains visible, and the helical staircase in beech connects the two levels. Concrete structure on the ground floor, wooden structure on the upper floor: a contemporary choice that gives the whole its warmth and character.

The Spaces
Approximately 200 m² of living space, 7.5 rooms on two levels. On the upper ground floor: large living room with fireplace and dining area, modern open kitchen, parental bedroom with private bathroom, bedroom or office and two direct accesses to the terrace. On the lower ground floor: four bedrooms, bathroom, laundry room, cellar and storage spaces.
