'THE TROGLODYTES' BY JACQUES COUËLLE
Authentic sculpted architecture, or architecture of instinct, this magnificent achievement of 1962, classified Heritage XX, is one of the five 'landscape houses' of the architect Jacques Couëlle, exceptional example of the movement of architecture-sculpture, plebiscite forms organic and rounded inspired and integrated perfectly in the nature, in opposition of 'right angles' of the modern movement of the time. Located in a private and secure area unique on the heights of Cannes, it enjoys absolute calm and unobstructed views of the bay of Napoule and the massif of Estérel. Developing a habitable surface of 231 m², on a landscaped ground of 3000 m², the neutral base of the built concrete walled and projected was an ideal 'playground' to leave free field to the creation of the artists craftsmen to create a composition also varied than incredible forms and raw materials. The rough stone with warm and varied colors and terracotta for floors, ceramics iron and glass for walls, wood and glass for doors, copper for dressing facade details. The spaces, largely on one level, develop like a space shuttle from the entrance: a living room dominated by a central and rounded fireplace typical of the houses of Jacques Couëlle, and a mural sculpture, bronze triptych of Constantine Andreou hiding two doors, one leading to the kitchen and the cellar being considered as annexes. On the opposite side, a suite with bathroom and a sunny room enhanced by cheerful harlequin colors on the floor. Access to the floor is via a curved staircase marrying the fireplace or a terracotta staircase from the entrance or take place two bedrooms an office and two bathrooms. The outdoor areas are characterized by various terraces and clearings offering a view of the nature and the various forms of the house, ending in the west on the pool surrounded by a terrace without vis-à-vis contemplating the distant view of the country Cannes. The basement hosts a garage, a cellar and a wine cellar. 10 minutes from shops, 15 minutes from Cannes, 40 minutes from Nice International Airport. CONTACT: TERESA 07.60.86.19.75.
