/ CONTEMPORARY VILLA, BIARRITZ
Concrete, glass and the ocean as the only décor
A radical architecture, all horizontal lines, turned toward the swell. Our task: to dress these raw volumes without breaking their silence.
We chose restraint — few pieces of furniture, but each exceptional.

The board-formed concrete stays bare, sanded to smoothness. Lava-stone floors contrast with thick undyed wool rugs.
The furniture, mostly Italian vintage, provides the only note of colour.
At night, indirect lighting turns the walls into living surfaces.
