Villa Kenwin - A Bauhaus Icon on the Shores of Lake Geneva

The following text has been translated automatically.

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 estate underwent an exemplary restoration in 1987, respectful of the original spirit and modernist principles that guided its design.

Located in the heart of a 5,000 m² landscaped park overlooking the Vaudois Riviera, the villa offers approximately 550 m² of living space spread over four levels. Its panoramic roof terrace provides a spectacular view of Lake Geneva and the Alps.

A tree-lined avenue leads to the main entrance, highlighted by nuances of blue evoking the chromatic research of the Bauhaus. The lower ground floor houses the service areas, while the main level opens onto a vast, naturally lit hall leading to a kitchen illuminated by a zenithal skylight and an impressive living room with 150 m² of reception space under 5 meters of ceiling height.

The living area, structured by a mezzanine with curved lines, is rhythmized by a finely worked metal railing and a 15-meter horizontal window front framing the grandiose view of the lake. Under the gallery, a glazed library creates an intimate and refined atmosphere.

On the upper floor, an office/projection room extends the creative spirit of the place. The last 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 underscore the timeless purity of this architectural work.
Montreux is a jewel nestled between Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps, offering an exceptional quality of life that harmoniously combines natural beauty, cultural richness, and international connectivity. Its unique microclimate guarantees mild winters and sunny summers, creating an ideal environment for a pleasant life all year round.

Montreux benefits from excellent transportation links, making it a practical base for both leisure and business:
Airports: Less than an hour from Geneva International Airport (GVA), two hours from Zurich Airport (ZRH), and close to Sion Airport for private aviation. Furthermore, the Lausanne region is expected to benefit from a new airport in the north of the city, strengthening regional and international accessibility.
Highways: Direct access to the Swiss highway network, facilitating travel to major cities and neighboring countries.
Trains: Regular rail services connect Montreux to Lausanne, Geneva, Zurich, and beyond.
Only 1 to 2 hours' drive away, Montreux offers privileged access to the largest Swiss and French Alpine stations, such as Verbier, Crans-Montana, Zermatt, Villars, and Chamonix.

Excellence in Education
Renowned international schools, such as St. George's, Aiglon College, and Le Rosey, are located nearby, offering elite academic programs recognized worldwide.

Cultural Significance
Montreux has seduced great artistic figures with its serenity and exceptional setting. Freddie Mercury recorded with Queen at the Mountain Studios, immortalized by a statue on the promenade. David Bowie and Igor Stravinsky also lived and worked here. Charlie Chaplin lived nearby, in Vevey. Claude Nobs founded the famous Montreux Jazz Festival, which has hosted icons like Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Prince, and Aretha Franklin.
