A modernist architectural masterpiece from 1973 by architect Lucien Vie, this avant-garde villa of 252 m2 unfolds its generous curves facing the Frioul Islands, set on a splendid 2,580 m2 plot with panoramic views, in the heart of Roucas Blanc.

In need of renovation, the villa has retained the strength of its original design and awaits a restoration worthy of its character. Inspired by the lifestyle of its owners, the villa, oriented towards the sea, creates a seamless dialogue between interior and exterior. Curves and counter-curves structure a fluid architecture where light glides and transforms throughout the day. Ribbed concrete, rounded roof overhangs, 1970s colors, and alternating curved and taut lines punctuate the façade. From the moment you enter the property, the tree-lined pathway guides you, gradually revealing the house nestled in its verdant setting. The villa fully embraces its 1970s roots: round mosaic floor tiles, a kitchen in cream and wood tones, a sculptural metal fireplace, built-in colorful bookcases, and plush carpeting create a distinctly modernist décor. Shades of orange, navy blue, and terracotta interact with the light, while the bathrooms feature turquoise tiles and sunny hues typical of the era. The layout is organized around a circular, open-air patio, clad in terracotta and punctuated by graphic openings that diffuse warm light into the heart of the house. The kitchen and living room extend onto a veranda set on a large terrace overlooking the garden. Beyond, a utility room, laundry room, and bathroom follow one another. A space with a separate entrance completes this level: it includes a bedroom and a large office. Upstairs, four bedrooms, each opening onto a circular balcony and connected to the garden, are revealed one after the other and share two bathrooms. The light-filled 35 sq m library stands as the highlight of the interior. It extends onto a terrace offering panoramic views of the sea and the islands. The exceptional verdant garden, planted with fig trees, mimosas, and bougainvillea, completes this dreamlike setting and provides access to a separate 35 sq m studio apartment awaiting renovation, as well as a parking space.

A signature 1970s style, ripe for reinterpretation amidst light and Mediterranean influences.
