Cet ancien domaine de chasse du 17ème siècle, entouré de douves en eau, est situé à 30 minutes de Paris en Vallée de Chevreuse.


Développé en Rez de chaussé d’une des ailes, en une seule grande pièce de cent mètre carré, le projet devait accueillir plusieurs fonctions. Il doit permettre une vie de famille autour d’une grande cuisine, un espace salle à manger et un salon devant la cheminée, mais aussi pouvoir se transformer en espace de réception, pour des évènements particuliers.


L’espace se structure par le vis-à-vis de la grande cheminée et du mur cuisine. D’une côté la cheminée est surdimensionnée pour être à l’échelle du lieu, et mets en scène un escalier menant à une petite bibliothèque.


De l’autre, la cuisine se dévoile derrière de grandes portes en bois massif, et peut entièrement disparaitre. Le seul poteau bois est transformé en pied d’un grand abat-jour en staff tandis que les poteaux latéraux en acier organisent une série de niche et étagère. L’ensemble s’articule autour d’une belle collection d’antiquités asiatiques et de tableaux intenses.
