Tucked away in the lush hills of the French Riviera, between Mougins and Valbonne, this villa, originally built in the 1980’s, was ready for a renaissance. The owners entrusted 17:17 Interiors, an interior architecture studio based in Cannes, with the mission to reimagine their 250 m² secondary residence, enhancing it with light, comfort, and modern elegance, all while respecting its soul and architectural legacy.
✨High-End luxury villa Renovation in Mougins with Timeless Craftsmanship
From the very first visit, the original flooring stood out as the true jewel of the home: beige marble inlaid with red Verona marble cabochons. It became the anchor of the design narrative, guiding a carefully curated dialogue between past and present.
This first phase of renovation focused on the villa’s key living spaces:
- the living room,
- the dining area,
- and a semi-open, custom-designed kitchen.
✨Natural Light and Redefined Volumes
One of the central challenges was to flood the home with natural light, restoring vitality and clarity to the interiors.
In the dining room, a bespoke “tableau” window was created, framing the Mediterranean landscape like a living painting. This bold architectural gesture elevates the space and crowns the room’s centrepiece: a majestic Calacatta Viola marble dining table, custom-designed for the project.
In the living room, the original barred windows were replaced by floor-to-ceiling openings, creating a seamless transition between the interior and the surrounding landscape. This structural transformation was carried out in close collaboration with a concrete engineer and a master mason.
✨A Kitchen Where Function Meets Elegance
The homeowners envisioned a bright, semi-open kitchen with an integrated dining nook. 17:17 Interiors designed a custom-made glass partition, inspired by the neo–Art Deco style, striking the perfect balance between structure and transparency.
Each material was meticulously selected for both beauty and durability:
- Fenix Verde Commodore cabinetry,
- Neolith Nieve countertops,
- and Neolith Calacatta used for the backsplash and breakfast bar.
A luminous false ceiling was added to enhance the airiness and amplify the natural light throughout the space.
✨Refined and Balanced Interiors for a luxury villa renovation in Mougins
The dining area exudes a serene, understated elegance, while the living room embraces a more daring personality, with a confident colour palette and bold contrasts.
The design artfully blends heirloom pieces with contemporary furnishings, telling a story unique to the home. Each choice reflects the essence of 17:17 Interiors: crafting a refined, timeless, and entirely bespoke way of living.
Excellence in the Heart of the Riviera
This prestige villa renovation in Mougins is a perfect expression of the 17:17 Interiors philosophy. More than just a redesign, this project is a true architectural rebirth, carefully orchestrated to honour natural light, reveal space, and elevate every detail with elegance and warmth.
