Ray of light

A modern villa in Lyon, France, brings architectural impact and natural light together to create a bold, luxury living space

Created by interlinking three white concrete volumes laid in an ‘H’ formation, architect Sebastian Belle of a2-Sb envisaged a strikingly modern and spacious villa near Lyon, France.

The building is designed to allow maximum interaction with the outside space, including the surrounding trees. Architect Sebastian Belle said: “The desire was that of including all the vibrations of the natural light to create changing atmospheres in accordance with the hour of the day but also of the seasons.”

To create continuity with the living area, bookcases have also been created utilising Rastelli furniture, and comprises closed panels and open modules in black integrated

Diving into colour

Made using mosaic tiling, this swimming pool art installation makes the most of the interplay between colour, light and water. The seafront home in Javea, Spain, is the location for the latest work by ArgentinianSpanish artist Felipe Pantone, known for his colourful, pixellated and digitalised artworks.

The piece features around 130,000 glass mosaic tesserae by ONIX. The artist’s process begins with a digital phase using several computer programs to create designs that can later be converted into friezes, murals, paintings and sculptures.

In this case, a mosaic spectrum in tones of blue, yellow and red merges individual ‘pixels’ to create a constantly shifting rainbow effect. felipepantone.com, onixmosaico.com
