Château de Crestet - Perched above the Provençal hills, this former 12th-century monastery was transformed by visionary architect Roger Anger into a striking composition of ancient structure and modernist clarity. Restored in 1985, the original brickwork, arches, and vaulted stone ceilings are woven seamlessly into a minimalist framework of white planes, glass walls, and clean lines. The architecture embraces contrast—raw stone meets precision polish, history meets abstraction. From a swimming pool carved into the rock to a mosaic sundial by Charles Gianferrari, every element honours the past while asserting a contemporary poise. A sanctuary of spatial tension and quiet grandeur. Via @ad_magazine
