Savin Couëlle’s Robinson-style home is for sale in Corsica


Savin Couëlle began his career as a movie set decorator until his father, Jacques Couëlle, the architect, approached him about working on a large project on Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda. This adventure marks the beginning of a lengthy partnership between the two men who will build a string of beachfront houses down the coast, each built in accordance with the principles of organic architecture designed to preserve some degree of naturalness. 


La France ne se trouve pas en repos, même si la plupart des réalisations se réalisent en Italie, où Savin Couëlle est installé. As evidence, consider this 1990s-era villa located in Corse, south of the island of Cavallo, facing the Lavezzi Islands.


Reunissant toutes les caractéristiques du travail de Savin Couëlle, cette remarquable prouesse architecturale regroupe : l’utilisation de matériaux locaux (pierre, bois), l’amplification des volutes pour ralentir les volumes, l’aménagement de escaliers sculpturaux ou encore la prédominance du white. 


Additionally, many of its villas are facing the sea, providing a fantastic view. Appearing to be put on the water’s edge, this 350 square meter property does not deviate from the norm. Equipped with five luxurious bedrooms and impressive reception areas, this property also features a private beach with fine sand and a space reserved for a 30-meter boat at the island’s private harbor.
