The villa Le Trident is a Modernist villa built by the American architect Barry Dierks (1899-1960) for himself and his partner, Colonel Eric Sawyer on the pointe de l’Esquillon in Théoule-sur-Mer, Alpes-Maritimes on the French Riviera. From the moment of its creation in 1925, this villa aroused the interest of cultivated Riviera society, who was searching for new talent. In a few years, Dierks became one of the most sought-after architects on the Riviera, where he built his reputation.
