g_mascheroni On the other side of the bay from Monaco, there is an incredible cultural and natural site now known as Cap Moderne and consisting of Eileen Gray’s villa E-1027, Le Corbusier’s Cabanon and Holiday Cabins, and the bar-restaurant Etoile de Mer, all of them mythical architectural icons. Suspended in time, in the blue of the sea and in the scent of the Mediterranean. Made with Steller

g_mascheroni Icon of modernist architecture, villa E-1027, is Eileen Gray’s first architectural creation and testifies to the thought and attention that she put into every detail of the design. Everything is designed to enjoy as much as possible the beauty of the sea and the garden, a beauty you can really dive in, smell or see. There is nothing luxury in the vulgar sense of the term, the exceptional value of the home is in the absolute freedom it transmits, in the desire to take off your clothes and feel the sun on your skin.

Beneath the single-slope roof of the Cabanon, a working area, a resting area, lavatory, wash-basin, a table, storage cupboards and a coat-rack are concentrated into a square cell measuring 3.66m by 3.66m and 2.26m high. Nearby A few meters away is Le Corbusier's studio, with its yellow and white door and large window opening onto the sea. Made with Steller
