VILLA/HOUSE in ST PAUL
Close to the village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, this exceptional living space of over 2.5 hectares was designed by a renowned artist and decorator.
Nestling in the heart of an olive grove and a magnificent terraced garden, the property emerges from the stone walls of an old sheepfold, with its minimalist architecture and elegant whiteness. Guided by her passion for white and pure lines, this artist has sought to sublimate the past through a contemporary vision.
Welcome to the poetic world of this sensitive soul, where light and tranquillity become accomplices. Unique and singular, this property is sure to inspire every epicurean, art lover and nature enthusiast.
While the long concrete swimming pool melts away under the olive trees, reflecting the colour of the sky, the 305 m2 of living space is divided between the main house and the charming wooden cabins.
The real show is inside! Through linen panels, narrow steel doors open onto a spectacular space, bathed in light and resolutely contemporary. Perspectives intermingle, inviting the eye to lose itself in interior patios and escape to the gallery-library above. Everywhere there are passages, a play of full and empty spaces, semi-partitions and made-to-measure furniture designed by the interior designer.
In the living room, an imposing contemporary fireplace takes its inspiration from traditional country fireplaces, while a second, more discreet fireplace blends harmoniously into the geometry of the walls. Everything is both revealed and hidden, according to the architect's artistic vision. A small screening room, a fitted kitchen with a floating Corian countertop, a smooth concrete bathroom housing a made-to-measure Corian bath: every detail reflects the decorator's characteristic style, where rigorous design is softened by the warm touch of the past. The artist excels at fusing interior architecture with the surrounding landscape, leaving her singular mark.
In fact, the entire property reflects the very essence of the artist who inhabits it, passionately blending contemporary design with the Mediterranean atmosphere and the thousand-year-old history of the olive groves.
