The story of 4D project
Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

Navigator4D have partnership with Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild for creating of new unique innovative project "Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild 4D Virtual Visit". Navigator4D company during last 2 years has performed a huge amount of 3D scanning of the building, halls and all objects of the Villa collection. Finally, Navigator4D have created this amazing project for public access in new Virtual 4D format. This product is an exact virtual 3D reconstruction of the unique Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, built on Cap Ferrat, Cote d'Azure. The architecture of the Villa building and interiors have been reconstructed in 3D in precision details with 3D scaning technology and photogrammetry. All exhibit objects, icons and historical heritage in the Villa have been scanned in 3D and displayed in high quality with their detailed descriptions. Created 3D tours in several languages with detailed stories of the construction of the Vill and beautiful Garden around.

The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Nice is a precious gem in the treasure-trove of italian styled architecture of the beginning of the twentieth century.

Unique facades and interior of
Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

Evocative of an Italian palazzo, this façade is made up of four parts: on the far left, a staircase tower with a very open, fantastical design; on the far right, a low, porticoed wing which draws its inspiration from the Italian Renaissance; in the centre, an entrance porch in a flamboyant Gothic style and an internal staircase bay in the style of the Florentine Renaissance.
In the courtyard, there is a Venetian well made from Verona marble and curious wrought iron, as well as a backdrop of vegetation decorated with bas-reliefs from Catalan cloisters, and a fountain with a Crouching Venus who appears to be getting out of her bath.

More than the other facades, this appears to have been designed to be viewed from a distance and from various viewpoints. It is therefore on a larger scale and exceptionally symmetrical. It also has a greater number of references: all the designs come from the Florence and Venice schools. For example, the frames in the bays and the pilasters form a strict geometric network, faithfully reproducing the style of some Venetian churches. What is more, the same types of marble are used: red Verona marble, white Carrara marble, light grey marble. These highly accurate reproductions were enabled by casts and photographs provided by Italian craftsmen and these references were then set in a modern composition, allowing for a few adaptations.
