Contemporary House Lyon

Characteristics of a contemporary house

These easily recognisable contemporary houses are built in a minimalist style with cubist forms and geometric dimensions. Their styles can also depend on the architect or contractor to whom the construction project was entrusted, depending on their specialist expertise.  

Designed to offer the comforts of modern living, contemporary or designer houses are structured with a spacious layout. On the ground floor, their vast living spaces open onto the exterior through large full-height windows, bathing the room in light. They offer modern fixtures and fittings with designer kitchens and bathrooms. 

What are the extras that enhance a contemporary house? 

With a flat, green roof, in large grounds with a heated pool, located near to public transport, conveniences and schools, automated, alarmed, with a double garage, these are the criteria that make a contemporary or designer house stand out.

Where can a contemporary house be found for sale near Lyon?  

Whether single-storied or on more than one floor, these are often built on enclosed land and nestled in a quiet residential area a few minutes from Lyon. However, you can find contemporary houses in Lyon itself, in the Montchat area for example in Lyon's 3rd arrondissement.

Contemporary house in Lyon and the surrounding areas: neighbourhoods and areas

Only certain neighbourhoods have houses for sale in Lyon: in the 4th arrondissement, for example in Croix-Rousse, in the 3rd arrondissement, in Montchat, or in the 7th and 8th arrondissements. You may even find some extremely rare gems in the 5th arrondissement. 

Around Lyon, there are many areas in which these ultra-modern houses have been built, like the Monts d’Or in Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d’Or, in the West Lyon area in Charbonnières-les-Bains or in La Tour de Salvagny. The Val de Saône contains many such houses due to the large number of plots for sale and especially plots already sold. Prices vary depending on the sector. For example, the architect James Bansac offers high-quality flat-roofed properties starting at €246,000 for 150 sq.m.
