ONE DAY IN WINTER AT VILLA NOAILLES

Robert Mallet-Stevens has been commissioned  in 1923 to build  the Villa Noailles located in Hyères. In order to please Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles –the owners–, the young architect had to include the vestiges of the Saint-Bernard monastery within the house.  The project took 8 years to achieve  (from 1924 to 1932). It features five bedrooms, a living room, and a dining room.
