In 1925, the young architect and his companion Eric Sawyer, a banker and officer in the British army, chose to settle on the Côte d'Azur, following the growing demand for construction by wealthy Americans.

They then set their sights on Théoule-sur-Mer and an isolated plot of 6,000 m2, on a small peninsula at the tip of the Esquillon, with a cove and a private beach, enjoying a view from the bay of Cannes to Cap Roux, with - to the south - Corsica.

Follower of the Modern Movement, Dierks built this astonishing villa which would become his place of residence, his workshop and his showcase: the Trident would make the success of the couple and trigger a multitude of contracts for the architect and prestigious clients including Paul-Louis Weiller, the Marquis de Cholmondeley, the Prince of Monaco, Maxine Elliott or even General Catroux.

Following the death of Dierks in 1960, then Sawyer’s in 1985, the villa remained a family heritage until 2008.
