House bubbles in France from Antti Lovag

Like attracts like – and Pierre Cardin, the original King of Fashion 1970, choosing a property on the Cote d’Azur, could not accept the facades resemble each other, like twin brothers. Soon the villa, which the architect Antti Lovag created for the industrialist Pierre Bernard, has become a popular mansion Cardin, better known as the House of bubbles. Since 1975, the famous Villa never ceases to amaze and delight with unusual forms of limiting functionality. “Every summer, around August, I invite my friends to the Palace of the bubbles, as I call it his official residence – said Pierre Cardin. – Come up with theme nights and grandiose dinner. I love opera, so the music here sounds all the time! Sharon Stone happy to come here to see firsthand what they write all the magazines in the world. Namely – the moment when the sun rises over the sea and it seems that every ray of knocks on the spherical screen. The incredible play of light in glass bowls reminiscent of stained glass windows in cathedrals. ” Antti Lovag refused to recognize the linear proportion of the architectural canon and two-dimensional plan to add a third dimension – a gesture, and even a fourth – a movement vector is directed outward. The new philosophy has created endless variations of layouts, based on the cylinders were: standing and lying, straight and curved, and the correct and deformed sphere shaped facade, is absolutely antagonistic to the classical one. Preimage of the interior – the primeval cave, is inextricably linked with the external environment. The unusual shape required a new approach to building construction. Of the metal reinforcement is going to seismically stable framework, which is then filled with concrete. At the core interior of the module – a semi-circle, which becomes or archways, or a base for the next floor. Spheres are drawn from the curved section on the principle bathyscaphe, and resemble him. Application in exterior revolutionary at the time of polymers led to a unique plasticity and openness of individual sections of the building. For example, the famous spherical bathroom, though half the globe, opens onto the terrace with a swimming pool. For summer, provided the same “swing” version of the dining area, where a table and a kitchen apart to the sides, like petals, and the sea horizon is part of the interior, closing it. Villa miraculously combines maximum openness of the interior and almost embryonic sense of comfort due to smooth inside corners and spherical shapes of almost all elements. Including self-designed Cardin framed and inflatable furniture. Area of the house, S-shaped izgnutogo along the hill, is more than 1200 square meters. meters, the reception hall can accommodate up to 350 guests at a time, and none of the ten rooms is not repeated. They are decorated with the best artists of our time – Patrice Bret, Jerome Tisseran and Daniel Yu Mansion complemented inextricably linked with the architecture of the building terraced garden with pools, fountains, sculptures, an amphitheater for 500 people and a stage of 370 square meters. meters. “For me, a ball or a circle – great shape. The more I look at my house, the more I think he looks like a woman’s body – never tired of admiring Carden. – Organic balls Lovaga fascinated me at first sight. I was a child I loved to represent himself as living in a spherical grotto or cave. And now my dream has come true. I seemed to hit it in the future and at the same time feel safe, like in the belly of the mother. I even designed a dress ball under the impression from my house. ” Interpenetration of Visual Arts continues: demonstration of recent futuristic models held in Maison de Bulle on stage in front of the amphitheater, and embodiment of ideas of organic architecture Lovaga again relevant in the era of drag conservation.
