Amelia Tavella, a Corsican architect, has revitalized a dormant castle in Provence, creating a distinctive exhibition area and exclusive suites that embody her Mediterranean aesthetic. The 1,600 m² space features intricate designs using natural materials, emphasizing their organic beauty and sensuality. Tavella's approach is through a lens of ‘symbolic archaeology,’ reflecting on history and memory in her architectural expressions. The interiors foster a dialogue between nature and architecture, inviting visitors to experience an interconnected space that honors past traditions while accommodating present needs.
"Here, mineral, organic matter pulses. Cut, red, veined, this material resembles flesh. It is naked, chiseled, hollowed out, raw... This skin is offered to the hand that caresses it."
"The power of spaces exists. It carries and protects those who understand the poetry of architecture when it is built in the name of memory."
