Terrace House, France




Providing open space is a fundamental quality in the design of multi story apartment buildings: the possibility to leave the flat while still being in the private realm. It's solvable by a mix of loggias, balconies and terraces. The Marina Baie des Anges between Nice and Cannes at Villeneuve Loubet, France (built 1969 - 1993) is an impressive example for a pyramid-shaped terrace-house typology.

It's a 70m high multipurpose condo (apartments from studio to penthouse, permanent flats and vacation rental), parking, commercial centre, sport club, yacht harbour, health centre, etc.
