saint-tropez-based architect vincent coste has completed a residential property positioned on a steep incline in the south of france. composed as a series of offset volumes, the house cascades down the cliff face offering panoramic sea views.

 

two floors of living accommodation are oriented around a large terrace that features a generously proportioned infinity edge pool. a large wooden louvered structure serves as a sunscreen, creating a sequence of outdoor areas adjacent to the home. at ground level, the division between internal and external space is blurred through floor-to-ceiling glazing, designed to encourage outdoor living. one bedroom is positioned at ground floor level, while the remaining four bedrooms are located at the upper storey.
