Urban Development
GRETZ | FRANCE
MASTER PLAN
This urban development project centers around creating an ecologically integrated residential community with a mix of spacious villas, green spaces, and recreational amenities. At its heart lies an “Ecological Village,” showcasing homes designed with green roofs and sustainable materials to promote harmony with the natural environment. Villas vary in size, offering residents flexibility in lifestyle options, with individual properties featuring private pools, gardens, and dedicated pedestrian access points to promote walkability.
The development is organized along a network of pedestrian pathways and bike lanes, encouraging non-motorized transportation and reducing reliance on vehicles. Main Avenue, a central thoroughfare, connects the community and is lined with trees to create a scenic, inviting environment for residents. Adjacent to the residential areas is a serene lake, accessible through pedestrian trails, providing a natural focal point for relaxation and outdoor activities. The landscape design includes areas like “Clearings” that maintain open green spaces for gatherings or community events, enhancing the project’s sense of openness and promoting a connection to nature.
VILLA TYPES
The three types of villas within this urban development project are spacious, eco-friendly villas designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings while offering a high level of comfort and privacy. It features an expansive floor plan with approximately 300 square meters of living space, ideal for families or individuals seeking a luxurious retreat. The open-plan layout incorporates a modern kitchen, living and dining areas, and multiple bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms to enhance privacy and convenience.
Each villa includes a private garden and swimming pool, as well as a terrace or deck for al fresco dining or relaxation. The landscaping around the property is carefully integrated with native plants and greenery to reinforce the ecological theme of the development. The villa also has direct access to the pedestrian walkways and bike paths, connecting it to the wider community amenities, such as the lake, horse trails, and green spaces.
DESIGN STYLE
The design style of these villas embraces a modern yet organic aesthetic, blending contemporary architecture with natural elements to create a seamless connection to its environment. Clean lines, minimalist forms, and a neutral color palette are balanced with eco-friendly materials and large, strategically placed windows that frame surrounding greenery and flood the interiors with natural light. The design emphasizes open, flexible spaces that flow effortlessly from indoors to outdoors, reinforcing the harmony between the home and the landscape. This style reflects a sophisticated yet understated luxury, offering both comfort and a deep sense of tranquility.
