Five luxurious architect-designed properties in France

If you are looking for a unique luxury home, maybe one of these five architect-designed properties could be your “coup de cœur”.

While price and location are often the key criteria for buying a property, they are not often the deciding factor behind a sale. Finding the right property, a dream home, is also a matter of taste and desire, where often the final decision is made by the heart and not the head.

Individually-designed properties by architects are always in high demand. If you are looking for a property that is completely unique and built with the highest-quality materials, here are five luxurious architect-designed properties, hand-picked by the Home Hunts team, to help you find “the one”.
