Eight houses on the Côte d'Azur.
Eight architects. One commission.

A standing material specification, hand-finished on site.

"The brief is identical. The sites are not. The houses, therefore, are eight different answers to the same question."

The shared specification dictates a 1,000 m² envelope, a 30-metre cantilevered terrace, structural walls in unfilled travertine, exterior cladding in oxidised bronze, and joinery in untreated French oak (Bourgogne, log-cut). All other decisions — plan, elevation, fenestration, interior — are left to the architect of record.

Sites range from a 4,800 m² limestone plateau on Cap-Ferrat to a 2,200 m² calanque parcel above Cassis. No two residences share an aspect, an elevation, or an axis. The commissioning brief was issued in May 2022. The first house, OCT · 01, was delivered in late 2024.
