Villa La Cicada
Perched above the port of L’Estaque, in the north of Marseille, Villa Lacicada sits on a hillside of white limestone overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Designed by Architecture Nature and led by Isabelle Berthet-Bondet, the project explores the dialogue between light, landscape and Mediterranean living.
Built on a narrow sloping plot, the house integrates naturally into the terrain through a composition of white volumes cascading along the site’s topography. The architecture plays with shadow and brightness, creating a sequence of terraces that structure the domestic program and open the house toward a panoramic south-west view of the sea.

Smartsea
In April 2023, the delivery of the Smartsea office building designed by the Carta-Reichen et Robert architectural firm and the EGR architectural studio completes the Smartseille eco-district and inaugurates the first episode of the "ÉcoCité Euroméditerranée".
As a new piece in the city's profile, Smartsea punctuates the maritime façade, the large linear stretch from the old port to Estaque. Facing the great landscape, the building composes this magnificent and constraining territory facing the sea, the highway and the railway. Taking place on the grounds of industrial wasteland, it embodies this change of paradigm, of the city's development towards the north.
