Atelier Archiplein updates 1960s lakeside villa in France

Swiss architecture studio Atelier Archiplein has refurbished and extended La Villa house in Annecy, France, renewing the home's dated interiors.

Situated on a hillside overlooking Annecy Lake, the 1960s home was in need of updating as its "single-purpose rooms" were no longer practical for contemporary use.

To address this, Atelier Archiplein refurbished the villa's three floors, which are arranged around its existing concrete structure, and completed extensions to the building's front and rear.
