About
Our studio
Alain and Liliana Meylan, architect and interior architect, decide everything together, and argue about most of it. Besides the houses of Les Domaines de Chabran, they have designed some thirty houses for private clients in the Alpilles.
Interior architect
Liliana Meylan
For more than fifteen years Liliana has designed homes and yachts from her studio in Geneva, and for a while she ran a shop of her own. In the Alpilles she draws the houses with Alain, from the plan to the last object on the table, and brings in the artists who live around us, painters and ceramicists, whose studios she opens to our guests. Every piece has to belong to a story: nothing is copied and pasted.
Architect
Alain Meylan
For thirty years Alain designed and built fine houses in Geneva, modern ones, full of glass and light. In the Alpilles he and Liliana take on houses several centuries old and bring that light into them, a wall taken down here, a ceiling raised there, without erasing anything of their past. Craftsmen from here do the rest, in the materials the houses were first made from.
A ninth house is taking shape
It is called Mas Allegre, in Les Baux-de-Provence. If you own a house in the Alpilles, or are about to, and would like it restored and furnished with the same care, write to the studio.
