Architecture at the service of international art de vivre

Nestled in the village of Menthon-Saint-Bernard on the tranquil shores of Lake Annecy, 580 Rive Est has established itself as a benchmark in high-end contemporary architecture. This rise in prominence stems from a strategic restructuring launched in the second half of 2024, with a clear shift towards an international clientele.

"We've raised our standards to meet the expectations of a more discerning, often international audience seeking comprehensive and personalised support," explains Ana Baudic, DPLG-certified architect and co-founder of the agency.

At 580 Rive Est, every project is managed entirely in-house, from studying the practical aspect of the project and acquisition advice to architectural design, acquiring permits, site supervision, and final delivery. This fully integrated process ensures seamless alignment between the client's vision and the finished result. The agency has further strengthened its capabilities with the recent addition of an interior architect and a project manager, creating a cohesive, agile team. "Our clients expect full-spectrum expertise, but also a single point of contact: an architect who leads the team and can understand and translate their needs into every corner of the home," Ana adds.

Every project is uniquely tailored to the lifestyle of the client. These are not standardised designs, but personalised living spaces that reflect each owner's daily rhythm. Cutting-edge digital tools allow clients to monitor their project in real time, with complete transparency. "Transparency builds trust. Even from thousands of kilometres away, our clients know exactly where their project stands," says Ana. With deep expertise in local regulations and administrative processes, the agency is well-equipped to handle complex, ambitious builds. Aesthetically, their designs strike an elegant balance ; flat roofs and large glass openings complement classic architectural elements for perfect harmonisation within the lake-and-mountain setting. The result: elegant villas where modern design meets local identity.

International perspective is central to 580 Rive Est's DNA. "We're a multicultural, multilingual team, which allows us to understand each client's cultural nuance," Ana emphasises. Whether French or from elsewhere, every client benefits from a custom approach informed by their cultural expectations. It's a true asset in a luxury market where international buyers seek clarity, security, and a trusted guide throughout the process. 580 Rive Est offers a calm, contemporary vision of luxury architecture.
