La Bastide de Montjoye : Architectural excellence on the french riviera
On the French Riviera, La Bastide de Montjoye stands as an exceptional residence, where the architecture of Gieselbach Holländer meets the elegance of interior designer Nathalie Ludwig. Thought out in every detail, this estate seamlessly blends tradition and modernity, creating an atmosphere imbued with luxury and serenity.
A Majestic Entrance and Exceptional Bedrooms
From the entrance, an imposing studded wooden door, illuminated by Spyder Lodes suspensions, sets the tone for the elegance of the property. The natural stone flooring enhances the sense of grandeur, leading the eye toward a sculptural staircase that structures the space.
To the left, the master bedroom harmonizes light oak parquet flooring with a Meridiani desk, Maison de Vacances textiles, and an en-suite bathroom bathed in natural light. A stone bathtub and shower offer breathtaking views of the sea.
The children’s bedrooms, custom-designed by Nathalie Ludwig, showcase an ingenious layout combining built-in beds, integrated furniture, and refined textiles. The bunk beds, accessible via a central staircase, optimize space while adding a playful touch.
Living Spaces in Harmony with the Environment
The main living room, adorned with Flexform furniture and an Eichholtz console, opens onto a vast terrace and an infinity pool, establishing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, enhanced by a Meridiani coffee table, a Loro Piana rug, and Maison de Vacances cushions.
A secondary, more intimate lounge is arranged around a central fireplace, featuring Eichholtz armchairs, Tom Dixon wall sconces, and a Limited Edition rug. Nearby, a custom wine cellar, integrated into a mirrored wall, adds an exclusive touch to the reception area.
A home cinema, equipped with plush sofas, extends this cozy ambiance, while an outdoor lounge, furnished with a fireplace and Manutti & Flexform furniture, offers a serene retreat immersed in nature.
Kitchen and Dining Room: Functional Elegance
The kitchen, a true centerpiece of the home, combines aesthetics and functionality. Ilfari suspensions illuminate a veined marble countertop, where every detail has been meticulously curated. Eichholtz bar stools add a contemporary touch, creating a convivial space around the central island.
To the right, the dining room reveals a refined décor, where a grand Arxe table sits beneath a sculptural Terzani chandelier. FreiFrau chairs, draped in delicate textiles, and Design of the Time curtains, suspended on La Fabresso rods, complete the scene. The open layout towards the gardens and infinity pool accentuates the sense of space and brightness.
