It was obvious why the spot for the mansion was chosen. It sits on the edge of a small peninsula which guarantees intimacy and safety, along with spectacular views of the Mediterranean. Recently, the property was sold to an English group, which decided to remodel the estate. However, to ensure that the historical feel of the home would not be compromised, the design exclusively relies on the use of “noble materials” -- including a range of natural stone -- while at the same time includes some contemporary touches which matched perfectly as a whole.

To execute the stonework, the firm of Marbrerie Azureenne was hired as the stone setter. With more than 250 workers, Marbrerie Azureenne specializes in projects of this type, however, its stoneworking shop did not have the capacity for the intricate pieces required for the project.
