In the heart of Uzès, in a noble 16th-century house classified as a historical monument, an apartment of 192 m², with a courtyard-garden and a cellar. The private hotel where the property is located features a simple stone facade facing the street, rising four levels with arched or rectangular openings. The original 'antique' decor, the stair turret, and the contiguous moldings that remain undoubtedly earned it the status of a noble house in the 17th century, now listed as a historical monument. Past the entrance, the inner Renaissance courtyard unfolds in a trapezoid shape with similar sides. It is rhythmically punctuated by several windows adorned with wrought iron grillwork on the upper levels. The noble floor is characterized by sumptuous sculpted decor of pilasters featuring motifs of term figures, enigmatic busts that serve as supports for the entablatures. From the former ground floor of the same style, only a Corinthian entablature with sculpted friezes of scrollwork remains today. The original mullioned windows were replaced during the 18th and 20th centuries with larger glazed openings, combining characteristics from various represented periods. Thus, wrought iron grilled imposts with baroque arabesque decoration form the external protections of resolutely contemporary metal joinery in the openings on the courtyard-garden side. The stone staircase of the house, featuring a balustrade characteristic of the Renaissance style, culminates in an apotheosis under a ceiling adorned with a fresco depicting cardinal points. Attached to the apartment, located on the first level of the building, is a cellar accessible from the common hall of the private hotel. The former ceremonial living room of the ground floor, now the living room of the apartment, has preserved its decorative features above the doors and around the fireplace, with 17th-century trophy motifs of various attributes. The painted doorways decorated with views of the Uzège have been preserved, even if not all moldings and woodwork could be saved. The choice to integrate original elements into a hyper-contemporary restoration respecting the exceptional quality of the building materials is particularly successful, especially in the apartment's kitchen, with its immense quadripartite vault, remnants of a medieval cantou, and its ultra-technological and minimalist design, exemplifying the best of what the alliance between heritage and modernity can produce.
