TAPIOLA

A remarkable example of 1960s architecture, this 173 m² Californian-style villa is part of a modernist project labeled as 20th Century Heritage , on its 1,250 m² plot within a wooded park at the gates of the Calanques.
 
 
True to its modernist heritage, the single-story house has retained many original features that attest to its authenticity, such as its Fontvieille stone and hollow brick facade, its sliding wooden shutters, its stone walls, its terrazzo floor, and its central fireplace. Nestled in the heart of a wooded garden in a tranquil setting, it benefits from a northwest/southeast orientation that allows the light to play across the changing seasons throughout the day.
Clad entirely in terrazzo, the living spaces include a living room opening onto a fireplace and a dining room, both facing the garden. The kitchen, with its grey ceramic tile flooring and adjoining a laundry room, blends harmoniously into the overall design.
In the other wing , a corridor equipped with storage, typical of the villas in the park of the King of Spain, distributes the sleeping area, consisting of four bedrooms, including a suite with its bathroom in a distinctly 60's look with its water green earthenware tiles, and another shower room.
Extending seamlessly from the living spaces, the outdoor areas play a vital role in the character of the property. Large terraces wrap around the house, creating a natural connection to the secluded garden, where the vegetation provides a constantly changing backdrop throughout the seasons. The sliding pine shutters and original window and door frames contribute to the unique atmosphere of the place.
An interior patio connects to another section: a 50 sq m outbuilding comprising a large living room with open-plan kitchen, a bedroom, an office area, and a shower room. This completes the property, designed with remarkable architectural coherence.
 
 
A discreet address where the Mid-Century spirit remains intact.
