Villa Mirasol

The villa spans 210 m² across three levels, set within a beautifully landscaped 1 375 m² park.

An entrance hall, a spacious 55 m² living area featuring a fireplace and a dining room that opens onto a terrace, and a kitchen.

The ground floor features an entrance hall, a large 55 m² living space composed of a lounge with a fireplace and a dining room opening onto a terrace, and a kitchen.

The first floor includes a master suite with a bathroom and terrace, two bedrooms (one with a balcony), and a shower room.

The garden level houses two bedrooms, a shower room, a laundry room, a workshop, and a garage.

The villa is crowned with a 75 m² rooftop solarium, accessible via a striking spiral staircase. The terraces provide peaceful, sunlit outdoor spaces surrounded by trees.

Villa Mirasol is characterized by its structural rationality and spacious design. Typical of the “International Style,” its exterior features sculptural volumes accented by cornices and dynamic setbacks. Inside, open spaces are flooded with natural light from large windows and corner glazing. The villa is rich in 1930s details : an Art Deco awning and exterior lighting, a sleek spiral staircase, and bullseye windows.

Pol Abraham studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Jean-Louis Pascal and Alfred-Henri Recoura. After graduating in 1920, he continued his studies at the École du Louvre until 1924 and began a thesis that significantly influenced architectural history, critiquing Eugène Viollet-le-Duc’s rationalist views on Gothic architecture.

His theoretical concerns deeply shaped his work. Pol Abraham occupies a unique place in the French tradition of constructive rationalism, blending the classical school of Auguste Perret with the modern movement led by Le Corbusier. His architecture is defined by clear lines and volumetric forms, creating a structural aesthetic.

Throughout his career, residential architecture dominated his commissions. Primarily built in the Île-de-France region, his villas reflect a relentless pursuit of balance between modernity and tradition. The Art Deco and picturesque tastes of the 1920s gave way in the following decade to a refined functionalist language: corner windows, flat roofs, and cubic volumes define villas like Villa Granet in Sceaux and Villa Thérèse in Vaucresson.

His reputation was cemented after World War II when the Ministry of Reconstruction and Urban Planning entrusted him with the Orléans project, where he combined prefabrication techniques (studied during the Occupation) with neoclassical urban planning, preserving the city’s historic character. Today, his work, an exceptional legacy of French modernism, is increasingly recognized for its heritage value.
