In a spa town between Bordeaux and La Rochelle, a discreet, 230-m² house, its tree-filled garden, large upper patio, garage and studio. Rectangular in shape and built over two levels, the house is topped by barrel tile roofs, the organisation of which demonstrates that initially, there were most likely several houses and outhouses built one after the other depending on the needs at the time. The visible stone masonry is punctuated by numerous windows and doors surrounded by ashlar stone. On the garden side, the ground floor rooms are connected via a 20-metre gallery along the façade, looking out over the garden with its picture windows. As for the upstairs, this floor includes a patio of approximately 65 m², which extends along the entire length of the house. From there, the view extends to the rooftops of the city’s chateau and, on the right side, over the Romanesque church’s bell tower. Right next door, a covered and converted section provides access to a small courtyard adjacent to the studio, which looks out over one of the town’s squares.

A house and its barn waiting to be renovated, nestled on Oléron Island on around four hectares of a protected natural area. The property includes a house with a barn that stands to the south-east. A few other dwellings edge its south side. The main entrance is also on that side. To the east, an inconspicuous lane runs through greenery up to the house. The property covers nearly four hectares, stretching northwards and eastwards to former salt pans. Lush vegetation dominates the site. Small trees and clusters of shrubs cover almost all the land, except for a pond that lies towards the north-east corner.

In Portes-en-Ré, a contemporary villa inspired by the island's architecture, over 300 m², with its swimming pool and gym. Behind a long white wall, the property gradually reveals itself in the spirit of the large Rêtaise houses. A gate opens onto a gravel courtyard, while a pedestrian door in the wall leads to a covered porch that marks the entrance. A welcoming garden consists of bamboo, palm trees, grasses, and Mediterranean plants. Beyond that, the villa appears in fragments and is organized into several volumes arranged around various successive patios. The old Rêtaise houses often resulted from the gradual aggregation of buildings related to the activities of salt-makers or winemakers. Living spaces, salt warehouses, or old cellars were connected by courtyards protected from the wind. The property adopts this logic in a contemporary interpretation. The lime-rendered facades, dark shutters, and canal tile roofs reflect the architectural codes of the island, while large glass openings establish a fluid relationship with the outdoors. The entire project, in its volumes as well as its interior arrangements, was designed by architect Jeanne Dumont. The materials assert the character of the building: brick floors laid in a dark pattern on the ground floor, oak flooring with small strips on the upper level, fine carpentry, wooden paneled ceilings, and often custom-made furniture.This description has been automatically translated from French.

At La Flotte, an old farming hamlet from the 18th century with several houses around a wooded and walled garden. The property extends in depth, following an organization inherited from an old agricultural complex. The various buildings, all on one level, surround a central garden. Part of the plot creates protected spaces, while some openings reveal perspectives between the volumes. The layout ensures both privacy and a sense of openness. It includes a house as well as several old structures: a wine cellar, a grain room, a barn, and a sheepfold that have undergone successive renovations. The organization distinguishes three separate living units. The facades, made of exposed stone or plastered, are covered with traditional tiles. The exterior woodwork, mostly painted blue, adds rhythm to the elevations. The floors are mainly composed of old tiles, found in most rooms, punctuated by a few areas of terracotta.This description has been automatically translated from French.
