Jacques Couëlle

A house imagined
without straight lines.

Villa Oxygène was conceived as a sculptural residence by the celebrated French architect Jacques Couëlle.

Curved plaster, stone, glass, and iron draw natural light through the rooms and keep the architecture in conversation with the landscape.

There is no conventional façade or fixed viewpoint. The house reveals itself gradually—as roof, arch, terrace, shadow, and horizon.

The approach

The house appears
one curve at a time.

Set within 3,900 m² of private enclosed grounds in Super-Cannes, the residence reveals itself gradually through its gardens and panoramic views. Couëlle’s architecture is experienced as an organic sequence rather than a single façade.

Inside the Couëlle residence

Organic living shaped by
curve, stone & light.

Jacques Couëlle sculpted the interior of Villa Oxygène as an intimate sanctuary without rigid corners. Six private bedroom suites, sweeping living salons with organic fireplaces, artisanal bathrooms with jacuzzis, and dining spaces open directly toward the pool and Mediterranean horizon.

Four readings of the house

Form changes with
where you stand.

Architecture, garden, terrace, and horizon are never treated as separate scenes. Each is used to frame the next.

01

Geometry

A different house from every angle.

Arches, rooflines, terraces, and openings continually reframe the estate, the sky, and the horizon beyond Cannes.

02

Material

Stone, plaster, glass, and shadow.

Natural and crafted surfaces meet without rigid edges, softening the transition between enclosed rooms and the landscape.

03

Light

Three exposures, one changing interior.

Morning, midday, and evening move differently through the curved planes, giving the rooms a new character throughout the day.

04

Landscape

Terraces that follow the sun.

Sculpted gardens, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon trees, and the pool terrace carry the architecture toward the Mediterranean.

From daylight to night

The architecture never
holds still.

As the sun leaves the bay, the roof, pool, and illuminated rooms become a different composition.
