Located in the heart of Cap Ferret in France, Oyat House is a coastal retreat by interior architect Joséphine Fossey. Designed for families, as the first holiday house of the Beauvallon group, the project reinterprets the essence of the region through an aesthetic that is both authentic and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.

Nestled between the ocean, dunes, and bay, the home was designed for conviviality and connection. At its centre, an open-plan living room anchored by a sculptural fireplace flows into the kitchen, where a travertine table invites long, leisurely gatherings. The space extends to the garden and pool, with five light-filled suites arranged around it.

The interior language speaks to the Atlantic landscape — wood panelling, mineral textures, and a palette of off-whites and deep browns that reflect the tones of sand, stone and driftwood.
Subtly reinterpreted colonial-inspired elements can be felt through the layering of antique furniture, artisanal pieces and objects brought back or found — all signs of a style imbued with travel, both timeless and personal. It’s an approach that echoes the atmosphere of Cap Ferret —
a landscape shaped by contrasts, between land and sea, intimacy and openness, stillness and warmth.

Craftsmanship takes centre stage, with local artisans and makers contributing their skill and attention to detail. Through Maison Oyat, Joséphine Fossey presents a thoughtful interpretation of Cap Ferret — one defined by balance, intention, and a deep dialogue between memory, functionality and beauty.
