Midcentury style in the heart of the Tarn region
This beautiful property with modernist lines was designed by architect and artist Jacques Llopart and built in 1980. Immersed in its wooded surroundings, it overlooks a breathtaking panorama of the French countryside.

Modernist lines and natural landscape
The villa displays a low silhouette, with long horizontal lines that blend harmoniously with the topography, in a construction philosophy that is close to American organic architecture. It uses a palette of traditional natural materials such as brick, stone and terracotta, and modern materials such as reinforced concrete, metal and glass. Its glass walls, protected from the summer sun by metal sunbreakers, immerse the living spaces in the landscape and create an atmosphere conducive to serenity.
Built in a dominant position, the villa takes advantage of the sloping ground and its orientation. Its H-shaped floor plan offers a clear separation between flexible day areas facing south, with uninterrupted views over the valley, and night areas immersed in the privacy of the trees at the rear of the property, protected from the summer heat. These two wings are separated by intermediate spaces laid out as terraces and patios, creating a great fluidity of use between inside and outside.
