Renovation - Construction - Extension
in Aix-les-Bains.

A village on the northern slopes of Aix-les-Bains, Grésy has absorbed most of the area's new housing over the past ten years, with several recent housing estates in UC and UB zones. The market remains active for first-time buyers of new 100 to 140 m² villas. We work on building on estate plots, extensions to 1990s houses, and RGE-certified energy renovations of existing homes. The local plan requires a general 4 m setback from boundaries and caps the ridge height at 9 m.

A historic farming plateau in transition, Drumettaz-Clarafond is opening its edges to construction with several building plots in recently serviced AU zones. The market is driven by families looking for more affordable land than in central Aix, with good local services and a school in the village. Typical projects: new contemporary houses, extensions to old farmhouses, conversion of farms into homes. Watch out for utility networks that are sometimes undersized on the farmland edges.

With vineyard slopes overlooking the eastern shore of Lac du Bourget, Brison is one of the most sought-after areas for contemporary lake-view villas. The local plan protects the wine-growing heritage and strictly regulates building size, roof pitch and materials. Our work: architect-designed houses on sloping plots, contemporary extensions added to existing buildings, making the most of hillside plots. A G2 geotechnical study every time, and careful siting to maximise views without exceeding permitted heights.

A peninsula between Lac du Bourget and the spa town, Tresserve remains the most prestigious address in the Aix area, with a market for high-end villas and rare lakefront plots. An architect is almost always required given the floor areas and the sight-line constraints of the listed site. Here we build contemporary villas (see our L14T project), carry out major renovations of mansions and landscaped pools. The local plan requires a detailed landscape integration study.

Sitting on the slopes between Aix and Pugny-Chatenod, Mouxy offers an attractive balance: open views over the lake, a village atmosphere and quick access to the spa town centre. Housing is dominated by 1960s to 1980s houses that are now ready for a whole-house energy renovation or a contemporary extension. We carry out many RGE CertiRénov projects here, often combined with bringing the electrics and heating up to standard, and eligible for MaPrimeRénov' and CEE grants.

High on the Revard massif, Pugny-Chatenod combines peace and quiet, sweeping views down to Lac du Bourget and immediate access to the cross-country ski area. The market is strong for chalets and contemporary villas, with a local plan allowing generous volumes in UB and UC zones. Our flagship project Le Clos du Revard shows the kind of design we develop on these plots: clean volumes, large south-facing glazing, wood and local stone.

A market village on the southern shore of the lake, Viviers-du-Lac mixes a small historic centre, recent apartments in small blocks and estate houses. The market is driven by seasonal rental investors and young households. We work on apartment renovations, remodelling village houses and extensions. The ABF heritage architect is consulted near the canal and the church, which extends the review period to 3 months in those areas.

On the western shore of the lake, Le Bourget-du-Lac is energised by the Savoie Technolac technology park and the university. The property market is mixed: family houses in the village, recent residences around Technolac and older housing in transition along Rue Nationale. Our recent projects include the contemporary renovation T2BL. The local plan was recently revised, with an emphasis on gentle densification and energy performance.

A small, sought-after residential village on the western shore, Bourdeau offers rare plots with direct views over the lake and Hautecombe Abbey. The market is discreet: only a handful of building plots come up each year. Here we are running the Le Cèdre apartment building project, a contemporary timber-frame design. The constraints are the gradient, narrow access roads and strict respect of sight lines with the listed royal estate opposite.

At the northern tip of Lac du Bourget, Chindrieux offers a rural calm appreciated by families and second-home owners. The market is dominated by old village houses, farms to renovate and a few plots in UB zones. Typical projects: full renovation of farm buildings, external wall insulation, restoration of traditional roof structures. See our R1295C project, a good example of this kind of heritage work.

On the slopes of the Revard, these rural villages offer hillside plots at more accessible prices than the lakeshore. The market is driven by first-time buyers' main homes and a few characterful chalets. The intermunicipal local plan strictly regulates building in agricultural and natural zones. Our projects include timber extensions, thermal renovation of 1970s chalets and occasional new builds in UB zones.

Beyond the Aix area, we occasionally take on chalet projects in the Tarentaise for our residential clients: Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Aime-la-Plagne, the upper valley. It is not our main area of work, but our technical teams have experience of high-altitude constraints (snow, seismic rules, access). For a project purely in the Tarentaise, we would rather point you to our Albertville page and the Alpine valley. The head office and project management remain in Aix-les-Bains.
