When we talk about our inspirations, it would be difficult to miss a jewel of our region, the Villa Cavrois, emblematic work of the architect Robert Mallet-Stevens, built in 1929 for Paul Cavrois, textile industrialist and owner of the Cavrois-Mahieu company which produced high-end fabrics for Parisian houses.
HEALTH AND SPORT
the 27 meter long swimming pool, sign of the modernity of the property. It responds to the concern for hygiene, health and sport that characterizes the program of the Villa: "air, light, work, sports, hygiene, comfort and economy"
MODERN CASTLE
Stripping of volumes, lack of ornament in the decor, state-of-the-art equipment (central heating, telephony, electric clock, elevator, etc.) use of industrial materials and techniques (glass, metal, steel). The Villa Cavrois remains an international reference in the history of architecture
POLYCHROMY
The assumed polychromy of the walls of the young man's room, a tribute to the Dutch modern art of the De Stijl movement is a real source of inspiration.
