The island of Porquerolles (France) is a real natural monument. Given its location in the very heart of a natural park, the protection of the site is a key dimension of the project.

Due to its belonging to the Natura 2000 perimeter, any land use for construction is prohibited. The creation Contemporary Art Foundation is therefore proposed as an extension of a Provencal villa. It is to secure a spatial configuration and an architectural language that integrate into the building, while demonstrating its contemporary character.
