Located just 20 minutes from Geneva, in a quiet and preserved hamlet, this former Gessian farmhouse of 300 m2 has been entirely redesigned by an architect to reveal the full potential of its rare volumes.

From an agricultural building once divided between barn, hayloft, and cowshed, a singular home was born – conceived around light, space, and height. From the entrance, the eye is immediately drawn to the verticality of the main volume: a double-height bay window on the south side and a skylight flood the living area with natural light. The fully open ground floor hosts a vast living room, a dining area, and a semi-open kitchen, in a raw yet warm atmosphere enhanced by original materials: exposed wooden beams, old wooden posts, stone walls, and polished concrete.

The upper levels, supported by a discreet and airy metal structure, unfold in mezzanines and half-levels: five bedrooms including a master suite, two bathrooms, a suspended reading nook, a tucked-away TV space, and open walkways that allow light and views to circulate freely. Every corner has been designed to preserve both intimacy and connection to the shared spaces. Exotic wood staircases, tensioned cables, and clean lines create a subtle dialogue between the building’s history and contemporary design.

On the garden side, a large south-facing bay window extends the living space outdoors, offering a rare indoor-outdoor feel for this type of architecture.

With no interior load-bearing walls, the space offers total freedom of interpretation for its future occupants.

This unique home blends the strength of historic architecture with the freedom of contemporary design, just minutes from Geneva in a peaceful environment.

A truly exceptional property, defined by light and volume.
