Architect in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, specialising in the renovation of distinguished historic homes
In Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, architecture cannot be considered independently of its landscape, light and history. Historic mas, Provençal bastides and distinguished homes make up a demanding built heritage, shaped by time and deeply connected to its setting.
Working with these places never calls for a standardised approach. Every renovation project requires a careful reading of what is already there and a fine understanding of its volumes, proportions and uses, to reveal the architectural identity of the building without ever fixing it in place.
It is this exacting approach that defines the Bérengère Leroy architecture practice, specialising in the renovation of historic mas, bastides and properties in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and across Provence.
Understanding historic architecture in Provence
the architecture Provençal architecture is founded on subtle balances. Mas and bastides were designed in close dialogue with the climate, topography and agricultural or residential uses of their time. Orientation, wall thickness, openings and the hierarchy of volumes: every element contributes to a precise construction logic.
Renovating this kind of building means understanding its principles before making any changes. The aim is not to impose a style, but to read the existing structure, respect its proportions and extend its architectural language. In Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, this exacting approach is reinforced by the quality of the landscape and the heritage value of these places.
A comprehensive architectural approach, from understanding to transformation

Architecture, interior design and decoration bespoke form a coherent continuum, in the service of a place made to be lived in for generations.
