In the forested Vosges Mountains, about 50 miles outside of Nancy, France, rests Maison du Docteur Gauthier—a striking two-level home that combines industrial and rustic design. The historic property dates back to the early 1960s when Jean Prouvé designed it for his daughter, Françoise, and her husband.

Sporting signature marks of the self-taught architect and designer, the home is wrapped in striated aluminum and capped with a flat corrugated metal roof. Expansive windows punctuate its curved-edged metal sides, which complement the wooden panels overhanging from the structure’s roofline.

“With its very refined, very plain lines, this villa constitutes the perfect summary of the designer’s ideas with regard to construction techniques,” notes listing agent Gilles Larosée. “It is, apart from Prouvé’s own house in Nancy, one of his most personal architectural works, and is well-known throughout the world.”

Upon entry, a wide foyer leads to open living spaces on the upper level, which are subtly divided by U-shaped cross beams. In the central family room, a Prouvé trapezoid fireplace—original to the dwelling—pays homage to the designer while enhancing the space with a sleek yet cozy aesthetic.

“With the terra-cotta floor tiles and strip-pattern parquet ceiling, the spacious [family] room immediately brings to mind the idea of a welcoming, comfortable place to live,” adds Larosée. A picture window spanning across the entire length of one of the walls frames picturesque views while also ushering ample natural light inside.

In total, the residence features five bedrooms, three of which are located at the opposite end of the living spaces. The lower level houses the additional bedrooms, along with a workshop and bathroom. Outside, a lush garden awaits, presenting a serene natural oasis surrounded by the thick forests.
