Architect Valérie Chomarat:

"This house resembles me, it describes what I am. I designed this house so that each of us can find their own independent quiet corner."

"I find everything I like here, from the views of the horizon to the serenity and simplicity of the place. I see a huge link with the work of Hiroshi Sugimoto, whom I greatly admire."

"Trouver une juste place aux choses…

Ce masque de Robert Courtright comme gardien des lieux… ne me quitte pas."

"I decided to keep the pine trees around to create a more subdued atmosphere inside, to play with contrasts, especially in the courtyard, which is quite open, but where there is also an olive tree in the centre that brings indirect light to the space."
