Villa Greystones, Protected historical monument in Dinard, France
Description
Villa Greystones is a modern residential building on France's Emerald Coast featuring three distinctive bay windows and a roof terrace overlooking the sea. The house is constructed from squared granite stones and displays the clean lines of contemporary design.
History
The building was designed and constructed between 1938 and 1950 by architect Michel Roux-Spitz, who combined modern materials with classical French building elements. This period shaped a new architectural language on the coast that blended contemporary and traditional approaches.
Culture
Artists including Alfred Janniot shaped the villa's interior with decorative works that remain visible today. These contributions show how the building brings together architecture and visual art in its design.
Practical
The villa requires advance planning to visit, as access is restricted and casual drop-in visits are not permitted. It is best to check available visiting options before traveling to the site.

A spiral staircase at the house's center leads to a round living room connected to a Neptune fountain garden. This spatial arrangement shows the architect's innovative approach to interior planning.
