Origin and history
The Seive House is an emblematic house located in Cusset, in the Allier department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Built in 1929, it illustrates an architectural mix between the regionalist style close to the neobasque and the Art Deco elements. Its features include a massive silhouette, wooden panels, curved-framed windows, as well as a portal and entrance door typical of Art Deco.
The interiors of the house are equally remarkable, with careful decorations: murals, stylized wallpapers signed Henri Stéphany, and straw marquetry. These elements reflect a special attention to ornamentation, typical of the 1920s, where art and crafts blended to create refined spaces.
Designed by Vichyssois architects Antoine Chanet and Jean Liogier, Seive House was listed as a historic monument in 2005. This protection covers not only the exterior structure, but also its interiors, including woodwork, tile, wallpaper, chimneys, and other decorative elements, reflecting its heritage importance.
The precise location of the house is 16 Avenue Gilbert-Roux in Cusset. Its state of conservation and architecture make it a representative example of the architectural tendencies of the inter-war period in France, where regionalism and modernism coexisted to create unique works.
