L'Ange volant, Modernist residence in Garches, France
The white two-level villa features a high-ceiling living room, marble floors, and large windows that illuminate the interior spaces throughout the day.
Italian architect Gio Ponti designed this residential building in 1927 for Tony Bouilhet, the director of the Christofle silversmith company.
The ceiling of the main hall displays a blue and yellow trompe l'oeil painting decorated with small coats of arms representing future spouses.
The residence contains seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and multiple living areas connected to a spacious garden with a terrace for outdoor activities.
A golden metal angel created by Christofle sits above the entrance door in a broken pediment, giving the house its name L'Ange volant.
