AROUND A PATIO
OPIO – FRANCE
2004
The client dreamt of a villa built around a patio like the houses around the Mediterranean Sea. Three separate volumes, linked by glass passageways, created this space which opens to the sky, the true heart of the villa, where life can take place peacefully, protected from the sun and prying looks.
Direct access from the patio to the pool, aligned with the living room and in front of the master bedroom, inevitably draws one to swimming and diving.
Bright as a result of its openings, transparent owing to their position facing and aligned with the inner paths, this villa is an invitation to relax whether the occupant is comfortably seated in a chaise lounge by the water or in a large sofa around the fireplace.
