ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
The stone and brick façades are preserved and restored where needed, in keeping with the original materials.
Grounded in extensive historical research, the project is based on a sensitive reading of the building and its successive transformations. Original plans, photographs, archives, and surveys allowed for a reconstitution of the château’ s initial form. Rather than a replica, Maud Caubet offers a thoughtful reinterpretation, highlighting original elements while meeting today’ s functional requirements. The stone and brick façades are preserved and restored where needed, in keeping with the original materials. Modern PVC windows are replaced with high-performance elements faithful to the site’ s aesthetic: light wood for rectangular windows, black steel for pointed or polylobed arches, based on historically accurate profiles. The main entrance door regains its 1879 design.
