Abstract


This two-storey home is located in a pleasant, thickly-wooded property overlooking the nearby valley and lake. It replaces an old manor house of the Edwardian period and incorporates existing buildings used for the help living quarters. The ground floor was arranged, distributing the kitchen area and three guest rooms, provided with independent bathrooms at either side of the receptional area, consisting of an ample drawing room and a dining room. The upper floor is reached from the ground floor through two stairways and is divided into two master bedrooms and a study room with the regular associated services. The gallery connecting the two bedrooms in the upper floor creates a double height for the drawing room below, considerably enhancing the decorative possibilities and the creation of the right atmosphere. The façades have been treated with a moderately formalistic approach, reminiscent of the English 18th century architectural style with porticos and columnated arcades.
