Origin and history

The Domi villa if the do re is a bourgeois residence built in Vaison-la-Romane, Vaucluse, between 1902 and 1914, then completed between 1930 and 1934. Sponsored by Hippolyte Signouret, insurer and local composer, she reflects her taste for music and crafts. The initial works were interrupted by the First World War, before taking over two decades later under the impulse of his daughter, who supervised the typical interior decorations of the 1930s, such as forged irons and Leroy wallpapers.

The villa is distinguished by its rectangular plan, with a ground floor, a floor and a roof with four slopes. Its north entrance serves the living room and kitchen, while the south façade opens onto a garden with a double superimposed gallery. The floor has three additional rooms. The building thus combines a classical structure with decorative elements Art Deco, the fruit of the work of Piedmontese artisans, traditionally active in Provence during the winter.

The villa was labeled "Twentieth Century Heritage" in 2001 and listed as a historical monument in 2002, illustrating the evolution of architectural styles and the influence of local sponsors. His name, inspired by the musical range, pays tribute to the passion of Hippolyte Signouret, conductor of the Orphan of Vaison-la-Romane, and his cultural heritage in the region.
