The Fan Garden

Property Description

PBI Crush® — 'The Garden of Fans'


The geography of Agde is defined by Mount Saint-Loup the basalt quarried there shaped the town's historic architecture.
A contemporary structure now stands at the edge of the original urban fabric, exposed to the prevailing Mediterranean winds.


ANCHORING
The gentle ripple of water resonates within the garden's quietude. Only the sea breeze breaks the relentless order of this secluded summer sanctuary.
The villa asserts its geometric boldness—an absolute white monolith that captures the light, transforming it into a golden glow.
The lawn stretches out with surgical precision, while stately palm trees stand guard along the lap pool.
A jade cage.


MEASURING THE LANDSCAPE
Set back from the coastal bustle, the landscape is defined by structured Mediterranean vegetation, where native foliage meets the vertical lines of ornamental palms.


Occupying a landscaped 600 m² plot, the building integrates into this green setting, open to the sea breezes.


GEOMETRY OF VOLUMES
Built in 2022, this 178 m² villa reimagines Agde’s architectural vocabulary. A white mineral render replaces the local volcanic basalt—the region's traditional building material.


The structure’s volumes are arranged over a single story with a south-facing orientation.


Dark aluminum-framed sliding glass doors open the main living area directly onto the garden, eliminating the need for transitional thresholds, while Washingtonia palms planted along the property line define the boundary. THE ART OF ENTERTAINING
Crossing the threshold leads into an 80 m² reception area defined by the play of light.


Furniture with organic curves, accented with peacock blue, harmonizes with the mineral finishes of the walls and floors.


Flowing seamlessly from this space, the open-plan kitchen—featuring white marble-effect surfaces with subtle grey veining and matte white lacquered cabinetry—centers around an island punctuated by striking black linear accents.


A staircase with continuous light-wood treads defines the back of the room without obstructing the view.


THE BARK OF DREAMS
The ground floor also provides access to the master suite. The bathroom features veined wall cladding paired with brushed gold brass fixtures. A freestanding bathtub with soft, rounded lines sits aligned with the French doors that open onto the tropical foliage.


Upstairs, three bedrooms—all with built-in closets—complete the layout.
A shared bathroom rounds out the amenities on this level.


THE MERIDIANS OF THE SETTING
A 7.5-meter pool defines the outdoor space, extending directly from the stone-paved terrace.
Set slightly back, a hot tub nestles against the landscaped greenery.

—
The layout offers no sightlines toward the surrounding urban fabric.
All that remains is the interplay of the wind across smooth surfaces.
A formal rigor, defined and sealed by the ultimate boundary of a jade-hued line.
