Renovation of a bastide in Aix-en-Provence by Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice

The building, with a floor area of approximately 1,200 m², set on 150 hectares in Aix-en-Provence has no character and has been damaged by successive owners who made incoherent additions. However, the setting and site are exceptional, making a prestigious restoration entirely fitting.

The brief for Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice is to restore its character and conceive the aesthetic vision for its architecture, gardens and interior design so that the building lives up to the scale of its grounds.

To give the building distinction, the architect in Provence, Bérengère Leroy will create an 18th-century-style cour d’honneur, bring the façades into alignment and design all the window surrounds, a large oeil-de-boeuf window, ashlar stone staircases, pediments, double gates, entrance railings and traditional wrought-iron glazed openings.

Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice will give structure and distinction to the gardens, bringing them into keeping with the house by creating paths and walkways, with fountains and bird baths, more intimate relaxation areas screened by hedges, and a superb ashlar stone pavilion of love in the centre of the pool, which will be the centrepiece of the estate.

Now that the house has the proud appearance of a pure 18th-century jewel, with gardens to match, the interior design must live up to it, so that visitors continue to be enchanted as they enter.

Interior designer in Provence, Bérengère Leroy has therefore opted for a pared-back interior that allows the proportions and the pure beauty of the materials to take centre stage: 18th-century cabochon floors and Versailles parquet, traditional aged-oak roof timbers, antique 18th-century fireplaces, precious chandeliers, perfectly curved stair rails and balconies with original designs created especially for the property, and a perspective of aligned oak doors with medallions for the reception rooms.

The Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice has also designed several exceptional, generously sized upholstered pieces to sit elegantly in the spaces, without excess or superfluity, alongside a number of magnificent objects by leading interior design brands.

The Atelier BERENGERE LEROY will make several immense sofas and chaise longues in silk velvet for the reception rooms, with superb double rows of bronze studs and silk piping, original armchairs in matching finishes created especially for the owner, and exceptionally tall curtains made bespoke and finished with embroidered braid and discreet precious embroidery bearing the estate’s name.

For the bedrooms, the Atelier Bérengère Leroy will make headboards and king-size bed-end stools to match the curtains, also made bespoke.

An exceptional place calls for the challenging coordination of three areas of expertise—architecture, landscape design and interior design—to ensure that all three remain in balance and the overall aesthetic is impeccable.

Renovation of a contemporary house in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur

Renovation of a 1970s house in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice

Built in the 1970s, the property had no architectural character and was far from handsome. Its only assets were its 700 m² of floor space and its elevated position, with uninterrupted views over Provence.

Interior architect in Provence, Bérengère Leroy was commissioned to work her magic: to give it a handsome new appearance, as if it had been razed and rebuilt from scratch.

The Bérengère Leroy architecture practice in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence achieved this remarkable feat by opening up the façades with glazed doors, installing mashrabiya screens to conceal certain discordant façades, adding shade sails for a designer touch, and finally creating a centrepiece of infinity pools that run around the house.

And so the transformation was complete: no one could now imagine it was the same house.

Interior designer in Provence, Bérengère Leroy also determined the aesthetic direction of the interior design.

Renovation of a bastide in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence by Bérengère Leroy architects

Restoration of a bastide in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence by the Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice

Bérengère Leroy was tasked with restoring its former glory, as successive phases of work had diminished the building’s splendour during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Certain architectural features are important, such as the entrance to an estate or hotel, which may be discreet or imposing.

The client wanted to impress visitors from the moment they arrived, Bérengère Leroy, the architect in Provence, therefore revived pillar designs dating back to the 18th century and designed an ironwork gate bearing the estate’s initials.

Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice also designed a formal French garden with rows of pools, which she designed and had reproduced, as well as a pavilion of love, also designed and reproduced, together with all the window surrounds, pediments, staircases, balustrades and other stone architectural features of the building.

Finally, the Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice devised the aesthetic direction for the interior design, ensuring that the interior and exterior formed a harmonious whole, creating a compelling sense of balance for visitors both outside and in.

Renovation work on a bastide by the Bérengère Leroy architecture practice in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence

The Bérengère Leroy architecture practice transformed this former 650 m² farmhouse located in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in Bastide

The aim was to ennoble a building that had no character to begin with, owing to its original purpose as a bourgeois farmhouse

Architect in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Bérengère Leroy has realigned all the façades, which had been pierced with arbitrary openings, and created a forecourt paved with old King's paving stones, enclosed by a high boundary wall, with a basin at its centre

The architecture practice Bérengère Leroy has designed all the dressed-stone window surrounds, as well as the pediment and main door, and finally the entrance gate to the forecourt, bearing the property's initials.

The paving was laid in the traditional 18th-century style, with the colours carefully chosen.

The garden was structured around the swimming pool, with cypresses, olive trees and defining low walls.

Bérengère Leroy has also chosen the aesthetic direction for the interior decoration and commissioned all the furniture, entirely bespoke (kitchen, dressing rooms, sofas, headboards, footstools and curtains), creating a highly personalised interior.

Architect for the construction of a Provençal bastide in Aix-en-Provence

The Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice offers to bring its expertise to the construction of your Provençal bastide in the traditional style in Aix-en-Provence so that no visitor could imagine it was a new build

Specialist in the restoration of historic 18th-century bastides the architects Bérengère Leroy offer to bring their expertise to the new-build construction of your Provençal bastide in Aix-en-Provence.

Too many new Provençal bastides are poorly executed and look just like the neighbour's, owing to machine-applied façade render with no texture, white stone window surrounds that give a papier-mâché effect, poorly considered volumes, or a garden that is out of keeping with the building.

This is reflected in the resale price, leaving the owners to bear the consequences first-hand.

If your plot is worthy of it have your new bastide built as though it had stood there for 200 years and give it character; you will recoup your investment handsomely on resale.

To achieve this, the Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice will design all the exterior architectural features that will give your new bastide character and distinction (window surrounds, door pediments, window frames, oculi, balconies, balustrades, fountains, staircases …) and have them made and given a patina by its exceptional artisans.

The architects Bérengère Leroy will oversee the traditional application of your render and the choice of its colour, bringing all its splendour to your bastide.

Inside Bérengère Leroy can also assist you with the choice of flooring materials, ceiling finishes and all the other details that make a difference.

And also design your staircases and handrails, as well as your fireplaces.

Thus, thanks to the experience of the Bérengère Leroy Architecture Practice in the field of restoring historic bastides in Provence , your bastide, though newly built, will delight visitors with its character and presence, and Bérengère Leroy can also, if you wish, give your interior decoration a haute couture treatment.

Of course, the teams at the architecture practice Bérengère Leroy will support you throughout your project, from its design to the final handover of the works, including obtaining planning permission and overseeing the construction of your bastide in Aix-en-Provence.
