The surrounding context is significant of the development of the urban fabric. Here, we can see the transition from an individual morphology to apartment buildings. The project extends the pedestrian path from the Chemin des Gourettes all the way to the mall, thereby creating a connection with the east side of the town.

Sean Connery’s South-of-France Villa in Nice

The project site is part of an already settled area where valleys have been deeply sculpted by water over time. The building has been designed to reflect the story of that environment and seeks to tie in with all of these interwoven rich territories. It nestles into the land by unfolding on the slope along the dry-stone walls adding a new chapter to this region’s history; one that reflects its natural background, its constraints and its identity.
