Stéphane Chalmeau shared with us this great Penthouse refurbishment made by french architects Avignon et Clouet in Nantes, France, giving great sunlight to the interiors using glass divisions instead of solid walls and including an indoor pool with an amazing view to the city.

Take a look at the complete photoset after the break.

Wow.. a retracted stairs that is a really cool idea. No floor plans?

I don’t like it

Dustin says:

It seems like a great layout but I hate the materials employed. Everything looks like plastic. It’s like living in a hospital.
The retracted stairs are cool… but probably not necessary with better planning.

what if the power goes out and the stairs are left in the closed position?

is it really architecture, without floor plans and sections?

Andy says:

Pretty pictures, but it’s hard to make sense of the space without floorplans. Is there some reason they were omitted?

sullka says:

errrrrr…because the architects didn’t send them?

# February 8, 2010 at 10:12

What a fantastically useless response. So glad I bothered to click back and read it. You’re awesome.

that's what she says:

like the stairs…everything else is really NORMAL

I liked the stair until I saw it retracted. That just makes it seem kitschy, like the rest of this project. It looks like an overpriced hotel room.

Michael says:

Pity all that money couldn’t buy a decent floor-to-ceiling height.

Modern Zen Architecture says:

Hmmm. I have a big issue with the stairs. I wonder how much weight each step could handle. I’m a big guy, and I can already imagine myself breaking one of the steps!

hmm says:

Nice pool!

What are the dimensions of the pool? Anyone know or good guess?

Length x width

thx in advance

voisindeville says:

As I can see this building almost every day, I can tell that the pool is about 12 meters long, not more than 2.5 meters large and about 1 meter deep. A place to swimm alone.

That’s a very good job !!!
Congratulations you two!

I like the stair and the external view
I can’t imagine the spaces without the plan
It seems simple

# February 9, 2010 at 14:56

I live in Nantes, not far away from this building that has a wonderful view on the Loire and the city. But, even thought this is a very good (and expensive) work of those architects, what’s the use of it if no one ever lives in ? I’ve never seen anybody at the windows, any lights at night.
