Welcome to The Sculpture House, a masterpiece created by the self-taught French architect, Jacques Couëlle, part of the Castellaras estate in Mouans-Sartoux, France.
Commissioned in the 1960s as a private village for millionaires, the cave-like designs were initially dismissed as unsophisticated. In recent years however, Couelle's intuitive and progressive architectural vision has been recognised for its strength and beauty. Couëlle believed that sharp lines and right angles "provoked human anxiety," and his organic designs inspire all who encounter it.
“The architecture of Jacques Couëlle is a celebration of the earth. In the evening, when the day slowly slides out of our eyes and escapes, the houses of Jacques Couëlle enter the earth again to be confused with it. And each morning when the sky lights up, they seem to emerge from the ground and be reborn, like a daily fertilisation of the earth”, said architect André Wogenscky in 1998.”
