Villa Urbani

The villa was designed for Daniel Urbani, an IBM engineer, and his wife, a schoolteacher, with a specific requirement for the home to be primarily heated by a central stove. Grégori Guy, an autodidact architect who transitioned from masonry to quantity surveying, studied architectural drawing at the Montpellier School of Fine Arts in the early 1960s and became a licensed architect in 1977. He later served as a professor at the Montpellier School of Architecture from 1983 to 1986 and contributed to the editorial committee of the journal Architecture dans le Golfe du Lion and the Comtat.
