Contemporary Architecture - 2022 - P.PASTRE, P.GARDERA

Modernist villa - Côte Basque
In a preserved landscaped environment of 1,300 m², this villa designed by P. Pastre & P. Gardera follows the lineage of organic modernism from the 1970s.
Its curved line, rare on the Côte Basque, interacts with the verticality of the surrounding pines. The mono-pitched roof stretches the silhouette and accentuates the horizontality of the volume. The architecture settles, opens up, breathes.
A bold architectural expression
The façade alternates between mineral stone, tinted joinery, and large bay windows rhythmically arranged by a readable structural grid.
Inside, the continuous wooden ceiling creates a warm unity and highlights the fluidity of the spaces.
The layout unfolds over two levels:
- A spacious living area widely open to the terraces
- A dining kitchen on a zellige podium, designed as a domestic stage
- A fire corner with a sculptural fireplace
- Integrated library and office space
- 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with bold chromatic palettes
The volumes prioritize natural light, diagonal perspectives, and framed views of the garden.
Inside / Outside
The wooden terraces extend the reception area towards the pool, nestled in a dense green setting.
The whole composes a true manifesto of ”living with the landscape.”
Just 2 km from the ocean beaches (Pavillon Royal), this villa is immersed in an atmosphere that is both modernist, warm, and decidedly timeless.
