Former 19th-century chapel renovated by architect

Originally intended for residential use, this former chapel now houses the office of its current owner. Two residential development scenarios have already been explored to give it a new lease on life.
Will you be the next guardian of this architectural gem?
Built in 1894 in the heart of a former convent, this deconsecrated chapel offers approximately 220 square meters of living space within a 5,700-square-meter wooded park in the Boutonnet district of Montpellier.
Its renovation, led by a Montpellier-based architectural firm with the approval of the Architect of the Buildings of France, has preserved the building's character while incorporating decidedly contemporary interventions.
From the moment you enter, the volume of the former nave, the restored terrazzo flooring, the high ceilings, and the abundant natural light give the space a unique presence. The metal staircase, crafted in a deep Klein blue, is one of its most striking architectural features.
The custom-made materials and structures create a space that is both monumental and welcoming. The quality of this restoration has also earned it a feature in a magazine dedicated to architecture, interior design, and lifestyle.
The property also benefits from a 40 sq m private garden and two parking spaces.
A residential project has already been studied.
Two development scenarios allow for different residential layouts while preserving the main volume and architectural identity of the chapel. Whether
as a primary or secondary residence, a living space combined with a creative area, this property is primarily aimed at a buyer with an appreciation for architecture, art, and places steeped in history.
Listed among the protected buildings of remarkable quality in the Boutonnet heritage sector, it combines features rarely found together in a single property: a 19th-century building recognized for its heritage value, a contemporary restoration carried out with the approval of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France (ABF), and a residential project that has already been studied.
Comparable properties can be found in Montpellier. The combination of this history, this architecture, and this restoration is, by its very nature, much more difficult to replicate.
The residential project now offers a glimpse into a space to live in, to entertain, and to pass on.
