The mansion is the Palace of Bubbles is situated in the South of France, 10 kilometres from Cannes, in the small resort town of Tual-sur-Mer. It was built by order of the French artist Pierre Bernard, but belonged to him for long. Now Villa on the Mediterranean sea known as "the House of Pierre Cardin" although the great couturier appears here very rarely.

Most of the year the house is rented, and to afford to spend the weekend can only very wealthy guests. Cardin bought the house with exotic architecture due to the love for unusual things, but there is a Palace of Bubbles and practical application.

The building is constructed of reinforced concrete and there are practically no corners. All lines of the interior and exterior are smooth and rounded, as if they had educated hardworking Mediterranean waves. The furnishings is chosen in the same style — they are all rounded like a compass or whipped from suds. The floors in the rooms are covered in soft rugs, and in the common areas — lacquered wood.

Great attention is paid to the in house lighting. It uses custom lights with special lamps that can change brightness and color. The automation monitors the lighting level in the house and changes the intensity of light without human intervention.

Lover believes that the direct line is aggression against nature. The room in the form of cubes and parallelepipeds disturb the inner harmony of man as unnatural for him. Straight lines are rare in nature and architect strongly avoid them.

By the way, Lover not like being called an architect or designer. He calls himself gaitolovo, that is a specialist in the human body and natural forms.
