Contemporary Home, Elegance and Comfort at the Heart of Arcachon Bay

Michael Zingraf Arcachon Bay presents, between the oyster-farming ports of La Hume and Meyran, this contemporary home is nestled in a peaceful, wooded setting, sheltered from view. The 1,600 m² plot hosts a recent construction, designed in a spirit of harmony between volumes, functions and finishes. The house offers over 420 m² of interior space, crafted with architectural precision.

The entrance sets the tone. A corten steel gate opens onto a clean-lined façade, defined by balanced voids and solids, enhanced by a Red Cedar door that echoes the surrounding landscape. Just inside, a bespoke staircase in wood and metal, framed within a glass bay, structures the view. Lines are clean, walls discreetly clad, and built-in storage blends seamlessly into the architecture.

The main living space brings together a fully equipped kitchen, dining room and a through lounge, anchored by a double-sided fireplace. This opens onto a summer lounge and expansive terraces. The utility room, connected to the kitchen, along with an integrated wine fridge and other tailored features, contribute to a smooth, understated experience.

Set apart, a guest bedroom opens onto a zen garden. Further on, a genuine pool house offers a full summer kitchen, changing room and outdoor shower, in direct connection with the pool and jacuzzi. The design is simple, materials carefully selected, and movement throughout the property feels natural and intuitive.

The main suite on the ground floor combines generous proportions, views of mature oaks, and direct access to the terrace and pool. A walk-in dressing room and en-suite bathroom continue the architectural flow. Upstairs, three additional suites with walk-in closets and bathrooms form the night area. Some enjoy double aspects over the garden or upper terrace, enhancing the sense of privacy.

Annex spaces maintain the same standard: a dedicated cinema room, a fully equipped gym, a study, a two-car garage with space for bicycles or motorcycles, and additional outdoor parking.

Technical comfort is absolute: the house is fully air-conditioned with a discreet, reversible system. Every detail has been carefully chosen — from smart home controls to door handles, from light switches to wall finishes, each component reveals a quiet commitment to quality. Even in the bathrooms, subtle features reflect the same concern for comfort and use.

This is a composition in balance. Every line, every decision, every function reflects one idea: to live in a place that is precise, coherent, and deeply serene.
