Villa Tempe a paia, Modern architecture villa in Menton, France.
The three-level residence features a living room, dining area, two bedrooms, and a terrace offering views of mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.
Architect Eileen Gray constructed this residential project in 1934, following her first creation, Villa E-1027, establishing her presence in modernist architecture.
The name Tempe a Paia reflects local linguistic heritage, translating to harvest time in French or yawn time in regional dialect.
Located at 187 Route de Castellar, the villa incorporates mechanical ceiling devices for light control and storage areas converted from former water tanks.
The structure stands upon existing masonry walls, integrating lemon groves into its design to maintain unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape.
