Villa Provence

A 189 m² house in the Luberon, in Provence, on a 1,200 m² plot enclosed by stone walls and hedges. A pale limestone, the colour of the neighbouring villages, clads the façades and columns, and wide roof slabs overhang to shade the terraces.

On the ground floor, large black sliding glass doors open the living room, dining room and kitchen onto a covered terrace and the garden, with its olive trees and pool. Light oak slats on the ceiling and lime-plastered walls give a soft light, and the pale stone kitchen island faces the table.

Upstairs, the primary suite has an oak slat headboard, a double basin, a stone bathtub on a platform and a glass shower. The child’s bedroom has a bench beneath a large window onto the olive trees and a sage green dado. Stone, lime, oak and linen, with sage green as the main accent colour and touches of black steel, suit a house that takes on the colours of the Luberon.
