Environment-Contrasting Villas

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Villa Seignosse French Home Stands Out from its Surroundings

— October 4, 2013 — Art & Design
This French home is truly unique. Unlike many projects that aim to blend in with the surroundings, the Villa Seignosse is designed to stand out. Designed by Debarre Duplantiers Associés Architecture & Paysage, it is a home that highly contrasts with the environment it's in.

The rectangular villa is bleached white with black borders around its windows. The lush green trees around it emphasize the sophistication and modernity of the residence. The white walls and clean, simplistic design makes it a modern oasis that offers comfort and openness.

The designers expect residents to experience nature's positive effect and fittingly, the back of the house opens to the forest. When you step outside, you will be overwhelmed by the calm, quiet serenity of the world around you.

The beautiful home also includes an outdoor pool and when you lie facing the sky you will slip into a new world where your troubles fade away.
