This book will take you on an architectural tour through Provence and the Côte d’Azur, considered by many people to be the most beautiful region of France. Contemporary architecture and design are the theme of this book: in contract with the classic Provençal style, we make a case for resolutely modern, streamlined architecture and interiors. Two tendencies stand out: on the one hand, the renovation and “stripping” of classic mas, bastides and country houses, which are reduced to their true essence, with the exterior often remaining intact for conservation reasons, and, on the other hand, the construction of uncompromising, visionary villas that make you forget the classic architectural idiom of this region.

Ma Déco continue de vous présenter de nouvelles visites au coeur de maisons stylées et singulières. Fidèles à l'esprit de la collection, découvrez cette fois encore des intérieurs d'exception : chaque espace présenté est le fruit d'une recherche décorative et d'une réflexion aboutie. Chaque intérieur se veut unique, car il révèle un parti pris décoratif en résonance avec les aspirations de ses occupants. Eclectisme et diversité priment donc dans ces nouveaux ouvrages. Un dénominateur commun rassemble néanmoins toutes les scènes d'intérieurs éditées : le raffinement allié à une exigence de beauté. Pièce par pièce, style par style, déambulez dans des univers déco variés à la découverte de grandes tendances décoratives et d'agencements de qualité savamment réfléchis. Maisons d'architecte, refuges urbains, intérieurs intemporels, salles de bains design... autant de voyages pour explorer des lieux au tempérament déco affirmé et pour rêver, s'inspirer ou glaner des idées...
