In the south of Corsica, within the commune of Bonifacio, lies the island of Cavallo — part of the Lavezzi archipelago, suspended between sky and sea in the heart of the Mediterranean. It is in this wild, unspoiled haven that one discovers a truly spectacular home, sculpted from stone and seamlessly integrated into its natural surroundings. More than a villa, this is a living sculpture — a seminal work of organic architecture in the Mediterranean, envisioned in the 1970s by the visionary Savin Couëlle. Anchored with rare harmony to its environment, the structure unfolds around a millennia-old granite monolith, whose central staircase, carved directly into the rock, serves as the spine of the design. Around this mineral ramp, the volumes flow like an interior landscape: soft, fluid, filled with light and open to the sea. Each line follows the contours of the land; each opening frames nature as if it were a living canvas. Spread across multiple split levels, the main house offers generous accommodation, including a master suite and four additional bedrooms, arranged with fluidity and a deeply intimate atmosphere. An annex, conceived in the same spirit, hosts another master suite and four more bedrooms, allowing for effortless, independent hospitality for family and guests. A vast troglodyte living area, natural stone terraces, and multiple contemplative spaces complete this sculptural composition, in constant dialogue with the landscape. Outside, the architecture dissolves into the island’s topography: walls extend from boulders, terraces gently cascade down to a secluded cove of crystalline waters — a private lagoon of dreamlike clarity. As Couëlle’s first creation on the island, this home already embodies all the principles that would come to define his signature style: organic volumes, raw materials, the absence of right angles, and a profound fusion with Mediterranean light. A rare and inspired masterpiece, emblematic of southern Corsica — where architecture, art, and nature become one.
