In Touraine, a 16th-century manor rehabilitated by J.-B. Astier de Villatte, along with its guest house, ornamental garden, and swimming pool. Accessible through a large oak door leading to a paved courtyard, the house is built of tuffeau over three levels, topped with a gabled roof of tiles and flanked on its east side by an imposing staircase tower. Built in the 16th century on older foundations, the residence underwent a complete rehabilitation at the end of the 2000s by Jean-Baptiste Astier de Villatte. The volumes have been rethought, while some openings have been modified or created to refine the perspectives and light inputs. The walls, plastered with lime, are punctually covered with enamel tiles, a signature of the decorative architect. The French-style ceilings, painted and delicately floral, converse with terracotta tiled floors, with shapes and patterns specifically designed for each room. Custom oak joinery is created, while furniture is designed, manufactured, and installed specifically for the space. At the rear of the house, on the garden side, a large tuffeau barn, topped with a slate roof, opens at the end of a paved stone path from Chauvigny. The restoration here is decidedly contemporary, with large volumes bathed in light thanks to wide openings with metal frames. The floors are laid with tomettes and the doors and frameworks are in oak. Between the two bodies of buildings, a classic-inspired garden structures the perspectives. It is planted with cypress trees, olive trees, rose bushes, and fruit trees. It organizes the transition to a relaxation space between the terrace, pool, and lawn. The property also includes two vaulted cellars, a well, and two outbuildings.
