Philippe Starck designs French Riviera villa for Lily of the Valley

Starck is famed for his bold yet minimalist aesthetic, which he has brought to the new Villa W. The villa can accommodate up to six people and is located within private grounds, overlooking the Mediterranean coastline.

It features a 17 metre pool that stretches the length of the terrace, and the three bedrooms are located across two storeys, each with a private terrace. 

Starck opted for a pared-down structure, contrasting concrete, glass and steel with arbours made from chestnut wood and an expansive south-facing glass facade.
