We proceeded like archeologists and we removed layer after layer until we found the spirit of the original building, a brick tiled floor and stone and brick walls that must have been more than 150 years old. These old materials serve as a reminder of what the place used to be. We wanted to preserve them as soon as we discovered them.  Image Courtesy © Atelier M3a Architectes

We only added a ceiling and two staircases, two partition walls and boxed in furniture to keep costs down and maintain the harmony of the space, nothing more, nothing less.

Inspired by traditional architectural styles, using local materials, the project looks like a traditional house of Camargue with one living space and a double eaved-roof.

The living space with its unusual shape and exposed simplicity, has a great deal of potential. Designed according to needs but allowing for changes in use, the whole conversion can be easily dismantled.
