We renovate historic houses with a soul, to create places designed for living well
Our work focuses on comfort, restraint, and longevity.
Homes shaped by authenticity, human connection, and a slower rhythm of life.
Luxury, to us, is measured in moments. Time spent.
France is a place of understated luxury.
Vivre heureux, c’est vivre caché
To live happily is to live discreetly
France has a long tradition of understated luxury — rooted in proportion, material quality, and daily rituals rather than display.
This cultural mindset aligns naturally with how we approach design and build. Second homes in France are not designed to impress, but to be lived in: places shaped around time, comfort, and continuity.
It is a place where authenticity, restraint, and human connection are not concepts, but part of everyday life.
Our practice is informed by experience on both sides of the Atlantic. Based in California and working in France, we combine a clear, structured design-build process with hands-on experience renovating historic French houses — navigating local regulations, crafts, and realities on the ground.
