<\/p>\n

Last week, Archihihis team put their archihihi-glasses on and went to the\u00a0villa Noailles<\/a> in Hy\u00e8res, south of France…
<\/p>\n

We investigated before our visit to this villa which was designed by Robert Mallet Stevens<\/a>, and we discovered that people had already great fun when it was built…
Look at these pictures taken from the film “Biceps et bijoux” (made in 1927 by Jacques Manuel) <\/span>to get an idea of how great it was!<\/p>\n\"imagesnoailles-web\"<\/a> \"piscinenoailles-web\"<\/a>\n

And once<\/span> we arrived<\/span>, we discovered an<\/span> amazing<\/span> architecture<\/span>: a true labyrinth, rooms which <\/span>are like<\/span> light boxes<\/span>, architectural <\/span>inventions everywhere,<\/span> and, last but not least, a nice summer atmosphere provided by<\/span> cicadas<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n

We couldn’t prevent ourselves to draw those treasures in our notebook in order to show them to you.<\/p>\n

Discover some of them by answering the following questions!
Ready?<\/p>\n

* let’s go to the quiz! * <\/a><\/h3>\n

Here are some explanation if you want to know more about it:<\/p>\n

Question 1:
\"pontlevis-fenetres\" From those 4 windows, it’s just possible to see the opposite wall, which is not so funny, isn’t it?
Therefore, the architect has designed an adjustable mirror: like a wing-mirror which brings the sun to the inside of the room. They can also be used as shutters.
Very clever!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Question 2:
\"fusee-jardin\"<\/a> This garden composed by Gabriel Guevrekian is a grid pattern of plants and coloured surfaces made of some very tiny black, red, blue and yellow tiles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question 3:
\"gateau-socle\"<\/a>On the terrace which is in front of the sea, 5 trees have each one its own white base, as if it were 5 sculptures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question 4:
\"balancoire-chambre\"<\/a>As the Villa Noailles was built (in the 20’s), the doctors thought that sleeping in a well ventilated room was good to treat the tuberculosis, a very widespread illness at that time.<\/p>\n

What could have been more efficient than a bed outside, protected by one roof and 2 walls?<\/p>\n
