A villa by Rudy Ricciotti, an Andalusian cortijo, an Athenian duplex. For its 301st issue, Planet Deco World explores ten new, inspiring interiors featuring designer decor (or contemporary one). This week’s roundup is an eclectic mix of heritage and contemporary design. In Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, a villa designed by Rudy Ricciotti is on the market for 4.39 million euros. In Marbella, two sisters are renovating an apartment designed by architect Fernando Higueras. A couple is transforming an old sheepfold near Ajaccio in Corsica.
Next, we head to Le Touquet, where a wooden house is tucked away atop a dune. In Athens, a pair of architects embraces mindfulness in their duplex with a pool. In Andalusia, a cortijo abandoned for six years is finally regaining its soul. A designer is transforming her apartment in São Paulo in Brazil into a tribute to her mother, a pianist.
The journey continues to Formentera, where Casa Barrett offers an endless view of the sea from its balcony. In Marseille, an artist couple is reinventing a 60-square-meter apartment full of character. Finally, interior designer Sophie Ferjani has created three homes in the South of France. Ten homes, ten stories, all sharing the same desire to live well at home.
Architect Rudy Ricciotti designed this exceptional villa now on the market in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. The property is listed at 4.39 million euros for 600 square meters of living space. A 2,500-square-meter garden surrounds this residence, which combines black concrete with contemporary lines. Six suites offer generous comfort to their future occupants. A 30-meter pool runs through the property, inviting residents to take a swim. From the terrace, the villa offers breathtaking views of Avignon. Source: Architecture de Collection
A more culturally rich side of Marbella beats to the rhythm of the architecture of Fernando Higueras, the architect behind historic buildings like this one. The interior designers at the Rebuelta Domecq studio, two sisters, are renovating one of the 200-square-meter apartments. They’ve adopted a respectful approach and focused on a few carefully chosen elements. A 90-square-meter terrace offers a spectacular view of the city and the sea. Source: Arquitectura y Diseño
Near Ajaccio, where they live, a couple with busy daily lives has taken over a former Corsican sheepfold. The couple first transformed the interior into an authentic living space. They then focused on the exterior to design a welcoming terrace. A small pond completes this space, designed for sunny days. Although the terrain presented challenges, it did not deter their desire for contemporary comfort. The couple has thus created a retreat where they can spend all their free time. Source: Côté Maison
Frédérique settles in Le Touquet to reconnect with her family roots on the Opal Coast. She had her house built atop a dune, away from prying eyes. Gray-stained red cedar cladding adorns the facade, echoing the bark of the surrounding pine trees. Inside, pastel colors and natural materials lend a soft, warm feel to every room. This color palette evokes the unique light of the Opal Coast. The house thus becomes the refuge Frédérique has long been waiting for. Source: Marie Claire Maison
Katja Margaritoglou and Sotiris Tsergas, founders of the Block722 architecture firm, designed a building on the edge of the forest. The architectural duo designed the building and then moved into the top floor themselves. A lush terrace extends their duplex and features a pool. This outdoor space expands the living room and blurs the boundary with the interior. Here, the couple cultivates a lifestyle centered on mindfulness. This personal project perfectly illustrates their firm’s philosophy. Source: AD Magazine
This Sevillian cortijo had stood empty for six years and no longer even had electricity. Dafne Vijande and India Arriaga are breathing new life into this abandoned Andalusian farmhouse. Nearly three years of work have allowed them to patiently restore the home. They preserved the original beams, the cob walls, and the traditional fireplaces. The house thus retains its Andalusian soul despite the complete renovation. It now welcomes family and friends with decidedly modern comfort. Source: El Mueble
Designer Clara Nahas transforms a studio apartment in São Paulo into a tribute to her mother. This pianist profoundly influenced her daughter’s artistic sensibility. In the bedroom, the original sheet music for a piece composed after Clara’s birth adorns the walls. In the living room, a Todeschini kitchen in Giardino-stained oak is paired with a custom-made cabinet. This cabinet houses her mother’s turntable and record collection. A Da Vinci quartzite countertop elegantly completes the ensemble. Source: Wallpaper
Perched atop a cliff, Casa Barrett once belonged to Australian actor Ray Barrett. Its whitewashed facades and huge windows reflect the maritime style typical of Formentera. The house offers postcard-perfect views of the Mediterranean from every room. A laid-back atmosphere reigns in this home designed for outdoor living. Today, it’s a veritable balcony suspended above the waves. Source: El Mueble
Interior designer Maëlann Benacchio has reinvented this 60-square-meter apartment in Marseille’s 4th arrondissement. A couple of artists, Darius Dolatyari-Dolatdoust and Grégoire Schaller, now call this imaginative retreat home. Upon their arrival, the two artists immediately recognized the potential of the high ceilings. The terracotta floor tiles and the view of the Calanques enhance the charm of the space. All it took was removing a few details to fully reveal that potential. The apartment then became the stage for their daily creativity. Source: Marie Claire Maison
Interior designer Sophie Ferjani unveils three locations in the South of France. In each case, she preserves the architectural character before defining the existing spaces. Light guides her work, whether it’s a country house nestled among vineyards or a former diving club. A 27-square-meter micro-space in Marseille perfectly illustrates her approach to organization. She favors simple materials such as wood, stone, and ceramics. These three projects all reflect the same authentic way of living in the South. Source: Marie Claire Maison
These ten properties reflect the same passion, that of homeowners who shape a space in their own image. Whether it’s a Provençal villa, an Andalusian cortijo, or an Athenian duplex, each project prioritizes authenticity. Issue #301 confirms that interior design is constantly reinventing itself, in France and far beyond. Check back in a week to discover ten new design finds from around the world.
