It is a contemporary house, with large openings, perched on a slope at the top of the land. Its minimalist and modern lines contrast with the dry stone walls. From its vast terrace, you can observe the beautiful circular staircase and the wooden steps that seem to invite us to discover the garden below, hidden under the tall trees. The garden or more exactly the gardens because this gently sloping walk has instead led us to design successive spaces, each with their charm, their moment or their activity. From the sunny lawn to the undergrowth, from the reception to the meditation, we designed this garden as an inner journey...

Made of slabs like the terrace when viewed from above, made of dry stones like the walls when viewed from below, we imagined and built this sculptural staircase as the link between the house and its garden.

Its role: to invite us to move from one to the other despite the difference in altitude that separated the two spaces.

Hidden by the trees, the garden can only be imagined. Even the old stone wall blurs the trail and it is through its breach that the trail crosses it, making us pass from one world to another again.

At the farthest point from the house, the laughter of the children playing on the terrace has given way to that of the water flowing in the pool, which we have restored to the same way, among the water lilies and hibiscus that have been carefully implanted. It's impossible to resist the urge to sit on the wooden swing for a few moments to enjoy the serenity of the place.

Perspectives are constantly changing, discovering here a massif of irises or bamboos, there a group of cork oaks or olive trees, a borie of stones or the glowing foliage of a Cotinus coggygria.

The stroll finally takes us back to the heights and the house with the impression of having gone around the world. The small world of Mounir and Astrid.
