The challenge here was to completely transform the adjoining unused barn into a living room. We opened the load-bearing wall between the barn and the main house, creating a semi-open kitchen overlooking the living space below. A light, open-riser staircase appears to float between the two rooms. We enlarged access to the wine cellar beneath the kitchen so that it became a natural extension of the living room: an inviting, visible wine cellar feels entirely at home in Burgundy. The double-height volume also allowed us to create a study in one corner. Because this area had a relatively low ceiling, we wanted to draw the eye downwards rather than upwards. We therefore designed a steel balustrade with irregularly spaced bars to create an engaging visual rhythm.
The kitchen also needed remodelling to become more welcoming and contemporary. We wanted to improve circulation without making the kitchen entirely open-plan. Alongside a central island arranged around one of the house’s stone pilasters, solid-oak screens define the spaces, echoed by ceiling beams and sections of lowered ceiling.
We then turned to the principal suite, combining two children’s bedrooms and a bathroom. A full-height headboard unit separates bedroom and bathroom. This bespoke piece is made from grey, through-coloured Valchromat panels, varnished and punctuated by vertical matt-white lacquered MDF battens. Their vertical lines help reduce the enclosed feeling of the bedroom on the top floor, beneath the sloping roof and between its structural trusses. The harmonious result gives this traditional Burgundy house a more contemporary character.
