From the architects



“Disconnecting”; a wall cuts the home off from the world outside: the French coast distorted by common town planning. On the other side, the sea. This is our escape. Nature stirs. Wind bends tree trunks. The roof bows before a bustling environment.


Bedrooms transform into terrace: a concrete passageway leading outside. A moment to breathe; punctuation in sentences.


The sea has its source at our feet.


A tile-covered ceiling salutes the spirit of Provençal homes. Below, only wood and concrete form the building. Beyond any codes, the natural, raw materials stand eternal.


Concrete has a soul; it has something to say.


The bedrooms sit alongside undergrowth. Two intimate, comfortable places facing each other. On one side, trees provide shady spots, on the other, a mass of concrete offers protection and a cool haven.


The billows which cradled the image of the sky

Mingled, in a solemn, mystical way,

The omnipotent chords of their rich harmonies

With the sunsets’ colors reflected in my eyes;

Charles Baudelaire, La vie antérieure, Les fleurs du mal.
