MONACO - Armed with a vision and a large saw, architects Jean-Pierre Lott and Patrick Raymond have crafted a luxury ‘eco’ villa out of a rock face in Monaco, using cork insulation, water recycling and solar panels to optimize energy and costs.
Lott told Reuters the idea came quickly when surveying the property, with the challenge of creating space and light. To build the home, they had to remove most of the upper rock surface, leaving the base so that the upper floors could be added later. The construction was designed around a vertical fold in the rock, dividing the geometry of the house and allowing for windows and terraces.
