Maison Bernard - a long-term architectural project on the French Riviera - is a striking example of organic design. Its construction took 14 years. Originally built for Pierre Bernard, whose name it carries, the villa was later acquired by Pierre Cardin in 1989. The shapes echo the surrounding natural landscape - bubbles, grottos, waves. Architect Antti Lovag believed that architecture should follow the soft, fluid forms of the human body rather than confine it within rigid rectangular boxes. That philosophy and the sensual feeling of the space itself was exactly what captivated Cardin: “These round forms remind me of the curves of a woman’s body... It’s very poetic. The Bubble Palace is like a woman’s body that I’m slowly discovering,” he once said. After purchasing the villa, Cardin transformed it into his personal stage for some of the most avant-garde events of the 1990s. To this day, the Palais Bulles continues to host fashion shows and artistic events - including Dior’s 2015 runway (fourth photo). Architect: Antti Lovag

Bosco Verticale - the world’s first vertical forest - was completed in 2014, designed by architect Stefano Boeri. It set a new benchmark for sustainable architecture and biophilic design in the urban environment. The scale of its greenery is truly unique: more than 20,000 trees, shrubs, and plants are spread across its two residential towers. Carefully selected by botanists, the vegetation forms a self-sustaining ecosystem that supports insects, birds, and small animals. At the same time, it improves the comfort of residents - providing shade, natural cooling, and noise protection. Bosco Verticale has since inspired a wave of similar projects around the world - from Singapore to Nanjing to Taipei. 📍 Via Federico Confalonieri, 6, 20124 Milano MI, Italy P.S. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to rent an apartment there and experience what it’s like to live in a garden a hundred meters above the ground.
