Description
The stories behind the most glamorous houses on the French Riviera.In 1926 Barry Dierks, a young American architect, arrived in Paris and fell in love with France. With his partner, an ex-officer in the British Army, he built a white, flat-roofed Modernist masterpiece that rested on the rocks below the Esterel, with views across the Mediterranean. They called it Le Trident.From the moment it was built, it captivated the Riviera. As commissions for more villas flooded in, Barry Dierks and Eric Sawyer, ''those two charmers'', flourished at the heart of Riviera society. Over the years, Dierks would design and build over 70 of the Riviera''s most recognisable villas for clients ranging from Somerset Maugham''s Villa Mauresque and Jack Warner''s Villa Aujourd''hui to the Marquess of Cholmondeley''s Villa Le Roc, and Maxine Elliott''s Chateau de l''Horizon, later the home of Aly Khan and Rita Hayworth. Riviera Dreaming tells the dazzling story of the lives, loves and adventures that played out behind the walls of these glamorous houses and provides an unparalleled portrait of life on the Cote d''Azur at the height of the Jazz Age.
