Villa Abaïta

Morgan and Jessica, “unconditional lovers of the Peninsula,” had long dreamed of providing their family with an exceptional vacation house in one of the best spots in the Arcachon Bay. Fortunately, or rather, thanks to their unwavering determination, they managed to secure a privileged plot in the heart of the village of Grand Piquey.

Eager to establish a family haven worthy of its name, Morgan and Jessica envisioned four beautiful suites and a dormitory for five children, creating the perfect space for a lively gathering of cousins. The house boasts exceptional outdoor amenities, including a generously sized, seasonally heated pool and an essential petanque court, all set within a sprawling 1300 m² garden meticulously designed by a professional landscaper. The main living area seamlessly opens onto a spacious wooden terrace with an inviting garden lounge – an idyllic setting for indulging in a platter of Cap Ferret’s renowned oysters or hosting a delightful barbecue.

A family home that doesn’t compromise on style. The goal was to anchor the decoration in the region’s spirit, a vision realized through collaboration with local decoration stores Gilberte with Love and La Maison Poétique, conveniently located just around the corner from the house. While respecting local tradition, influences borrowed from villas in Ibiza, Mykonos, or even Mexico injected a dreamy touch.

Once again, wood takes center stage. The chairs, bar stools, carefully chosen from Kave Home, and the dining table, custom-crafted by For Me Lab from a unique Balinese tree trunk, highlight this noble material. A striking staircase, serving as a decorative centerpiece, greets visitors at the entrance. Not only does it add to the aesthetics, but it also serves a functional purpose by allowing light to flow freely, avoiding compartmentalization of the space. A skilled carpenter was entrusted with its custom creation and was responsible for designing the entryway’s furnishings, closets, benches, and even the dormitory, ensuring a harmonious and wood-themed ambiance.
