The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice construit en 1909 par l'architecte Gustave Umbdenstock, partisan du courant anti moderne. La maison, bâtie en front de mer, décline tous les éléments régionalistes néo-normands : tours d'angle à poivrières, galerie de circulation vitrée, faux pan de bois, croupes... Le plan tient compte de l'aspect pratique et fonctionnel. La date de réalisation de cette villa en fait un archétype de la villa normande pittoresque.

Building constructed in 1909 by architect Gustave Umbdenstock, an advocate of the anti-modern movement. The house, built overlooking the sea, displays all the elements of neo-Norman regionalism: corner towers with pepper-pot roofs, glazed circulation gallery, false timber framing, hipped roofs... The plan takes into account practical and functional aspects. The date of construction of this villa makes it an archetype of the picturesque Norman villa.
