About Villa Cavrois

Add to favorites

Auténtico manifiesto arquitectónico del siglo XX, la Villa Cavrois es la obra maestra del arquitecto Robert Mallet-Stevens. Construida entre 1929 y 1932 en Croix, cerca de Roubaix, para un importante industrial textil, encarna la modernidad radical. Con sus líneas horizontales limpias, sus fachadas de ladrillo amarillo y sus terrazas en la azotea, se asemeja a un transatlántico terrestre. En su interior, el lujo no reside en el dorado, sino en el espacio, la luz y el uso de materiales nobles (mármol sueco o de Siena, maderas exóticas). Fue una residencia visionaria para su época, equipada con calefacción central, ascensores, teléfono interior e iluminación indirecta integrada. Tras casi desaparecer en la década de 1990 (fue ocupada y vandalizada), la Villa fue sometida a una restauración histórica sin precedentes dirigida por el Centro de Monumentos Nacionales. El sitio web chateaux-en-france.com recomienda prestar especial atención al comedor infantil, con sus muebles de peral barnizado, y al gran salón-comedor, el verdadero corazón de la casa. El parque, con su estanque reflectante de 72 metros de largo, también se ha recreado según los planos originales, ofreciendo una perspectiva que realza la perfecta geometría del edificio. Hoy en día, es uno de los mejores ejemplos del movimiento modernista en Europa.

Tip for an even more exceptional visit.

To truly appreciate the visual impact this villa had when it was built, the website chateaux-en-france.com recommends starting with the "materials room" on the garden level before heading upstairs. My expert tip: Don't miss the master bathroom on the upper floor. It's a truly exceptional room: 60 square meters of Carrara white marble, a monumental built-in bathtub, and a built-in weight system. It's undoubtedly the most photographed bathroom in France. For a peaceful visit, avoid busy weekends and opt for a morning visit when the villa opens. If you're a design enthusiast, chateaux-en-france.com suggests taking a close look at the door hardware and light switches: everything was custom-designed by Mallet-Stevens to create a "total work of art." Finally, the ultimate tip is to visit the villa on a sunny day: the interplay of shadows cast by the metal structures on the yellow bricks creates graphic patterns that change every hour, making each photo unique. You can also easily reach the villa by tram from Lille or Roubaix (Villa Cavrois stop), a ride that allows you to admire the other beautiful homes in the area.
