Oasis of relaxation: the outside area is an inviting, relaxing space. (Image source: Alexandre Réty/ Styling: Marie Maud Levron)

• Historical building with contemporary comfort
• Understated warm ambience in white, black, and sandy shades
• Above-counter basins and freestanding Luv bathtub
• Sainte-Barbe, Saint-Jean-de-Luz on the French Atlantic coast

Enveloped in the scent of the ocean and lilac trees, the neo-Basque villa dating from 1925 on the picturesque bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz twinkles with a revived brilliance. The owner worked closely with the architect Stéphane Cividini during the property renovations, taking pains to retain the regional architecture at the same time as integrating contemporary elements to create an ideal family home. The neo-Basque architectural style, such as the white stucco façades, the dark-green window frames and shutters, and the characteristic beams of the timber frame, was masterfully preserved – especially on the street side.

The owner placed particular emphasis on the design of the main en-suite bathroom. Accessed directly from the main bedroom, the light-suffused bathroom of 15 m² on the upper floor is a genuine highlight. The pared-down design of the freestanding bathtub and the elegant washing-area solution with the sophisticated above-counter basin from the Luv collection charmingly complement the minimalistic ambience.


Cozy atmosphere, green idyll

The spacious rooms of the villa and selected decorations are appointed in neutral shades such as white, black, and sand, creating a cozy atmosphere.
The outside area has a lush garden with swimming pool and extensive terraces surrounded by varied vegetation such as palms and Indian lilac.
The redesign of “Villa H” is an inspiring example of the perfect symbiosis of a traditional architectural style and contemporary comfort.
