Dating from the 16th and 19th centuries, this château underwent extensions in the early 20th century. Entrusted with its rehabilitation, our architecture firm successfully harmonized these different layers of construction. We recreated a wing and a large rotunda staircase. A horseshoe-shaped structure as well as one of the château’s courtyards were rebuilt to accommodate the uses defined by the owner (bedrooms, wine cellar, hunting room, and reception lounges). The château’s outbuildings were transformed into a spa, and a swimming pool, both covered and open to nature, was added. Finally, the adjoining farmhouse was restored to house the maintenance staff.

The existing master plan is organized around a cobbled courtyard open to the southwest. The building, constructed in successive phases throughout history, is composed of elements from the 12th, 19th, and 20th centuries with various finishes: brick, stone, and plaster.

The architectural approach is based on the continuity of this philosophy, carrying out extensions in phases to complete the story of this residence. A cobbled courtyard, open to the southwest, will be enclosed by four wings—one part being existing and renovated, and the other built in the spirit of the original. This extension is designed to blend seamlessly with the site and the history of the estate.

Access to the building will be through an existing stone and plastered porch, which will be preserved and restored. Behind this porch, a courtyard unfolds in two parts:

• To the west, four squares of lawn bordered by hedges, each planted with a liquidambar tree.
• To the east, the existing cobbled courtyard is extended along with the building, with a stag statue placed at its center.
• To the south of the courtyard, another porch leads into a wooded and finely landscaped park.
• South of the building, a large landscaped and tree-filled patio is created, overlooking the swimming pool and the spa club.
