The Belle Iloise residence by OPUS 5 Architectes is a marvelous project on a beautiful island in France

We have repeatedly told our readers about interesting architectural solutions of various studios. In this window we will speak about a glass mansion created by Opus 5 Architectes of Paris. Belle Iloise got its name because of its location – it was built on the island of Belle-Ile in France.

In short, the mansion is a rather long building, connected or divided by a glass walkway – it depends on how you look at it. In this passage is the glass bridge – the link between the bedrooms area and the general living area of the mansion.

Part of the glass panels are covered with stone slabs as shields of sorts. They give the house a solid and solid feel. The same panels that are left open are equipped with lighting that turns on in the evening and creates a cozy and warm atmosphere in the house. From the outside it looks magical – it seems to be standing on water.

The architects of Opus 5 Architects have managed not to break the strict architectural rules that apply in Belle Isle: the buildings must be long and the roof area is strictly limited. It is because of this there are no convex parts on the roof, but the original move was the glazing of its part.
