Michael Levy's villa in France's Gard region is a unique blend of architecture and nature. The structure is conceived as a lush, cathedral-like nave that embraces its historical context and natural surroundings. Situated in a former quarry, the design features a large continuous first floor that connects seamlessly with its garden and water features, allowing free movement throughout the space. The building's materials reflect the local architecture, linking it to the terrain, while the interiors blur the lines between inside and outside, creating a harmonious living environment.
I conceived of the project as a lushly planted and inhabited nave, a cathedral-like structure where nature mingles with its occupants, who come and go, stroll, jump, dive, and swim.
For me, the real border is more than the windows: it's the curtains that sway in the wind.
