The house of the future

Designed by an architect enthusiast, this town house is a technological innovation and located in the heart of Chateau-Thierry, it does not go unnoticed. Rebuilt on the ruins of an ancient house of shoemakers, it stands a tall facade of glass and wood. An amazing project designer, Eric Pace first took a contextual approach: the house is part of the Church of St. Crispin; although the outside has evolved into a modern house it was necessary to integrate the site. The habitat itself is spread over three floors: kitchen and dining-room, living room, bedroom and bathroom; the parts are connected by an interior staircase. Very pure design, the furniture is a natural in this high-tech atmosphere. "You can always make improvements for this type of habitat" and Eric Pace does not lack imagination.

This split layout offered the couple the perfect opportunity to create both a home and separate holiday let, allowing them to live in France while generating an income. The couple have done much of the renovation work themselves, opening up the space to make it light and bright. Heritage paints sympathetic to the local style have been used as a backdrop for a mix of antique finds, contemporary furniture and architectural details found in salvage yards to create a truly unique home full of quirky history... view feature Pin It Now!
