This villa designed by architect Alain Richard in 2007 has a 100 m2 roof terrace offering an exceptional panorama of the sea and the hills of Les Goudes.

Target

Develop this unused roof terrace. Largely dominated by its direct relationship with the sky, and the minerality of its context, the layout of the roof must blend into the decor.

Course of action

Work on the question of the limit and allow this new roof terrace to integrate elegantly and discreetly into its environment.

Achievement

The aesthetic choice was to work with light furniture, whose colors and materials are reminiscent of the immediate environment, or make nods to the imagination evoked by the place (boat, port, forts, etc.). The garden lounge and the dining area are the two strong, structuring elements, around which the color is brought by the small furniture, the decoration and the vegetation. Strict and direct forms are mixed with softer ones, to bring a touch of harmony and softness to the whole. The layout of the terrace contrasts with the brutality of its landscape. One serves the other for more lightness.

The outdoor design was realized in partnership with Good Design Store, for the supply of furniture (Fermob, Houe, Gervasoni, Petite Friture, Serax), Basset Diffusion Aubagne nursery for the plants (olive tree, phormium, dasylirion, cycas, etc).

Before …

In the heart of Bompard, the exteriors and views from the top floor of this townhouse appealed to the new owners. This small enclosed garden had to be able to accommodate two distinct spaces: a terrace/summer kitchen and a garden area.

Course of action

This exterior was worked in two planes, signified by large horizontal elements, namely the low wall and the planting spaces.

Achievement

The result is a clever play of contrasts between sharp colors and a choice of plants with characterful foliage. Strelitzia and false pepper trees are green in all seasons, responding with character to the minimalist design painted on the wall. The low wall is long and accommodates the summer kitchen and garden spaces, creating an impression of perspective and depth.

Before …

Architecture of the 30s, this house has been, years after years, adapted to the tastes and use of its various owners.

Target

Bring a new balance between the rooms, more contemporary with a real bias. Adapt the spaces to the new owners’ lifestyle by offering a certain fluidity in the circulation within the house.

Course of action

Definition of a strong color palette for the entire first floor. Renovation of the 3 floors in a graphic and warm spirit. Modification of the layout of the floors, without altering the original architecture of the house.

Achievement

New custom woodwork was installed, allowing for plenty of storage space and a bench seat in the entrance area. The layout of the first floor was modified with a new opening between the dining room and the kitchen – with an IPN installation – offering a beautiful open and friendly space. On the first floor, the spaces have been decompartmentalized to create a beautiful master suite with double access to the bathroom and shower. A children’s bedroom with an adjoining office and bathroom provides a dedicated space for each member of the family. Finally, on the top floor, a dressing room, a guest room and an office have been installed.
