OUR PROJECT
VILLA BANDOL
It all began in Saint-Tropez 22 years ago, at the Coté Sud show. This French customer, who lives with her family in London, contacted us to carry out interior work (first on her kitchen, then on a studio) for their villa in Bandol.
She then contacted us for an overall renovation project for the rest of the house and outside areas.
We transformed the entrance, parking lot and wooden terraces, created new stone staircases, access paths and dry-stone terraces, designed a new garden, changed the shape of the existing swimming pool to give it the appearance of a natural pool with new wooden beaches set amid lush, fragrant vegetation, and created living terraces shaded by a retractable sail when the cicadas serenade.
In addition, the lighting has enabled us to sublimate this zen, natural, peaceful space.
At night, the play of shadows and contrasting materials adds to the magic of the space.... When the trees and bushes sway in the breeze and the crystal-clear water of the pool illuminates the terraces... lying back in your deckchair with your nose in the stars, you can't help but think how good it is to live on the south side.
Some time later we went to see our customers in London's French Quarter for the design of their kitchen, which they wanted to be very contemporary.
Another fine achievement and another successful challenge under less clement but charming skies.
