The cabinetry on this side of the kitchen is painted Farrow & Ball's "Pea Flower Tea.

Though the original home didn’t have a foundation, Jes added one and raised the house about six feet to safeguard against potential flooding from a nearby river. The new house also includes a much larger second-level primary bedroom and en suite bathroom, plus a small balcony.

Muted tones and gold accents carry into the kitchen, where a Discus pendant by Jamie Gray for Matter Made lights the room.

Large operable picture windows and French doors from Andersen, adorned with gold-toned hardware from Valli & Valli, frame views while bringing tons of natural light into the house. A downstairs bedroom has a built-in bench where Jes’s daughter, Beatrix, reads.

The color of the bathroom tiles calls back to the kitchen’s color scheme and the cork floor in the parlor.

Inside the bathroom, a Phase sconce from RBW sits above a Scarabeo Moon sink.

Outside, Eva planted wildflowers, grapevines, and other flora along the perimeter of the home. Inside, a sitting area by a Skantherm fireplace is a nice spot to cozy up with a book.

An opening in Eva’s closet looks into her bedroom. The photograph she is adjusting was taken by her friend and fellow artist Julian Lennon. “He is the only person I take design advice from,” she says, adding that the circular opening was his idea. On her bed are Rose and Lili, the mother-and-daughter pair who have traveled the world with Eva.

In the guest suite is a staircase that goes nowhere. Eva initially wanted to connect the space to her bedroom above but changed her mind. “I told the workers, ‘Leave the stairs,’ ” she says. “Then I started to put some stones and pieces of leftover chaux. It’s full of objects that aren’t really anything.”

In the sculpture studio on the top floor, Eva turned an existing opening into a decorative nook. The fabrics on the bench are antique nets used for olive picking. “They have all these olive stains that are gorgeous—they are like pieces of art,” she says.

Below the window is a bench Eva made using an old wooden plank and loose stones found during the building’s renovations. The curtains were handsewn from pieces of lace she bought at a flea market in nearby Arles.

Windows and doors were enlarged to allow a natural transition to the outside.
