Résidence Horizon 80

In the early stages of his career in the fall of 1960, architect Pierre Parat received a commission from the central administration, recommended by Georges Meyer-Heine, to develop the coastal district of Saint-Laurent-du-Var. Parat's ambitious and complex proposal included several marinas, tourist facilities, and a large shopping center. However, the master urban plan did not progress as the mayor preferred to hire a local architect-urban planner instead. During this period, Parat met Italian property developer Parrucci, who introduced the idea of a private seaside residence.
