Villa Maeterlinck: Architecture that embraces the land - John Taylor Saint Jean Cap Ferrat

A work of art by Jean Nouvel, between rock and sea

John Taylor Saint Jean Cap Ferrat

Located at the edge of the historic Palais Maeterlinck estate, this villa designed by Jean Nouvel unfolds across approximately 550 sqm on a 8,600 sqm property. It descends from the Basse Corniche road down to the Chemin des Douaniers, providing direct access to the sea.

Perfectly embedded in its natural setting, the villa overlooks the Mediterranean between Cap Ferrat and the Bay of Angels. Surrounded by flower-filled gardens and terraced stonework planted with Mediterranean species, the house blends in with the landscape. A beautiful outdoor pool complements the composition.

Access to the property is via the roof, which is entirely covered in vegetation, echoing the surrounding terrain. A private funicular and a staircase connect the villa’s two main levels: the four suites and the expansive living room, overlooking a large outdoor swimming pool.

With no pillars on the façade, the villa fully opens to the view. The horizon becomes the sole line of structure. Inside, materials such as exotic wood, metal, and raw stone engage in subtle dialogue with the site. Every detail has been designed to allow light to flow freely, creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. The living room extends naturally onto the terrace. The bedrooms look straight out to sea. Comfort is discreet, precise, and integrated.

From the water, the villa’s structure is revealed: a composition of glass and stainless steel, delicately placed on a stone promontory. A quiet architectural gesture in service of the landscape.
