Office space for sale - 1820 Montreux

Built in 1931 by architects Alexandre Ferenczy and Hermann Henselmann on the shores of Lake Geneva, Villa Kenwin is a striking testament to the Bauhaus movement in Switzerland.

This villa underwent exemplary renovation in 1987, restoring its original splendor and earning its designation as a Swiss cultural asset of national importance.

Set within a landscaped park of 5,241 m² overlooking the Vaud Riviera, the Villa offers a living area of 550 m² spread over four levels. It is topped by a superb rooftop terrace providing spectacular views of Lake Geneva and the mountain panorama.

A short driveway crosses an orchard and leads to the main entrance, which features a color palette of blue announcing the polychrome design of the site. This first level or lower ground floor houses the service rooms.

On the upper ground floor, a bright hall distributes a kitchen illuminated by a skylight and the living room accessible through a metal door. The reception area unfolds over 150 m² under 5 meters of ceiling height and is overlooked by an interior balcony in a curved design, bordered by elegant metal railings. The natural light in the room is provided by a large horizontal bay window 15 meters long framing the view of the lake and the landscape. Under the balcony, a glass roof reveals a library. On the upper floor, there is a study that is also used as a projection space.

On the top floor, the sleeping area accommodates 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms distributed along a U-shaped corridor like the cabins of a boat. The rooms feature a minimalist decor with a modernist aesthetic: armchairs inspired by the works of Charlotte Perriand, functional furniture, and characteristic Bauhaus wall lamps.

It enjoys an idyllic location on the shores of Lake Geneva, facing the Pre-Alps, between Montreux and Vevey, overlooking an exceptional landscape of mountains, vineyards, old towns, and illustrious achievements of the modern movement, such as the famous Karma villa by Adolphe Loos, a typical example of <> architecture.

The villa could be subject to a change of use, allowing it to be used as an office or commercial representation space.
