## Description

Built in 1931 by architects Alexandre Ferenczy and Hermann Henselmann, the Villa Kenwin stands as one of the most remarkable examples of the Bauhaus movement in Switzerland. Classified as a cultural property of national importance, this property underwent exemplary restoration in 1987, respectful of the original spirit and modernist principles that guided its design.

Located in the heart of a landscaped park of over 5,200 m² overlooking the Vaud Riviera, the villa offers approximately 550 m² of living space spread over four levels. Its panoramic rooftop terrace provides a spectacular view of Lake Geneva and the Alps. A tree-lined driveway leads to the main entrance, highlighted by shades of blue evoking the Bauhaus's chromatic research.

The lower ground floor houses service areas, while the main level opens onto a large hall bathed in natural light, leading to a kitchen illuminated by a zenithal glass roof and an impressive living room with its volumes: 150 m² of reception space with a ceiling height of 5 meters. The living room, structured by a mezzanine with curved lines, is punctuated by a finely crafted metal railing and a horizontal 15-meter bay window framing the magnificent view of the lake. Under the gallery, a glazed library creates an intimate and refined atmosphere.

Upstairs, an office/projection room extends the creative spirit of the place. The top level is dedicated to the sleeping area: six bedrooms and three bathrooms, distributed along a U-shaped corridor, reminiscent of the cabins of a modern ship. The furniture and interior details, sober and functional, pay homage to the Bauhaus aesthetic: pieces inspired by Charlotte Perriand, geometric lighting, and integrated furniture underline the timeless purity of this architectural masterpiece.
