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.
