THE Maison Blanche
Quiet behind grandeur
SAINT TROPEZ, FRANCE
SEPTEMBER 2024
CONCEPT
RESIDENTIAL
Bathed in sunlight and framed by pristine white roses, The Maison Blanche is a conceptual estate designed to evoke tranquility and timeless charm. Set within the exclusive serenity of Saint-Tropez, the architecture takes cues from classical French proportions, while the interiors speak in a softer, more poetic language. White tones dominate the palette, delicately balanced with brushed gold detailing, gentle curves, and luxurious finishes. The entire home is envisioned as a sanctuary light, fresh, and harmoniously calm.
The sweeping staircase stands as the sculptural core of the home. Wrapped in soft beige carpet and framed by wrought iron balustrades, it acts as both a circulation route and a visual anchor. Surrounding walls feature classic mouldings in soft white, guiding the eye upward and allowing daylight to travel freely between floors. Positioned between the lounge and garden, the staircase connects all public and private spaces effortlessly uniting the home with grace.
The main living space is grand yet welcoming, where tall black-framed windows allow natural light to flood in, dancing across soft ivory furnishings and polished marble. The symmetry of the fireplace wall and the styling of floral arrangements create an atmosphere that feels both serene and formal. Every corner is considered, with neutral textures layered to provide depth without distraction an intentional canvas of elegance.
The dining room and kitchen continue the home’s refined narrative. Creamy wall panels, gold-accented lighting, and glossy flooring reflect both luxury and restraint. The dining area, encircled by garden views, pairs perfectly with the adjacent kitchen where marble veining and gold fittings create a sense of curated opulence. This pairing of spaces was designed for both entertaining and everyday elegance a seamless fusion of beauty and function.
Outdoors, the rear garden offers a peaceful contrast to the home’s formality. Lush hedges, symmetrical layouts, and a crisp pool define the space, softened by pale sunbeds and white floral arrangements. Lounge areas are designed for leisure and calm, shaded by umbrellas and surrounded by precise landscaping. This is an outdoor living experience that mirrors the purity of the architecture itself clean, balanced, and deeply private.
The bedroom, bathroom, and home office are the most intimate expressions of the design vision. Here, plush bedding, stone fireplaces, and hand-picked accessories carry the same tonal purity found throughout the rest of the home. Nothing feels overdone. The harmony between materials linen, wood, marble and the subtle continuity in lighting and colour make every space feel like a quiet retreat. Together, these rooms complete a home that is as refined in detail as it is effortless in feeling.
