Holiday home Maison Hiltiti

Mini­malist wooden archi­tecture in the Vosges moun­tains: In the cli­matic health resort of Gerardmer, the archi­tects from Atelier Ordi­naire have built a wooden house which is the second home of a family of five and can also be rented as a holiday home for up to 16 people or used for work­shops. The house is inspired by the simple shapes and mate­rials of the regional farm­houses, but has its own con­tem­porary style. Situated on a wooded hillside, Maison Hiltiti blends into its sur­roun­dings due to its larch wood façade and a steel roof, yet still attracts attention. The windows of varying sizes appear as if they were ran­domly posi­tioned all over the façade, with some pro­truding from the façade as boxes.

The building with a floor area of 200 square metres con­sists of three volumes, of which the middle one seems to float above the slope. The ground floor of the first volume accom­mo­dates the ent­rance area, a sauna, the utility room and storage rooms. On the first floor there is a spa­cious kitchen with a tran­sition to the central part of the house, which houses the living room extending up to the ridge. Large windows frame the view of Lake Géradmer. The third volume pro­vides five bed­rooms (each with en-suite bathroom) and a dor­mitory for six people.

The inte­riors are almost com­pletely finished with cross lami­nated pine wood. The floors, cei­lings, walls and built-in units are made of wood, only the bath­rooms and the kitchen have small tiles areas. Both the fix­tures and the free-standing fur­niture were made by the German label Stattmann. With their gentle curves, they match per­fectly the cir­cular details that can be found in the house. Round arches, a wall with cir­cular ope­nings between the sleeping and living areas and round light switches break up the plain straight design and add a deco­rative element.

What to do

Activities in the mountains and on the lake: hiking, swimming, sailing, stand-up paddling, fishing, cycling, mushroom picking, skiing. The house is located one kilometre from the centre of the village with bars and restaurants, shops and the lake.

Why we like this house

Maison Hiltiti is beautifully simple and simply beautiful! Architecture and interior design merge to create rooms with plenty of space and light. Equally wonderful is the location on the edge of the forest with wide views of the lake, the village and the mountains.
