This project was commissioned by a couple living in Châlons-en-Champagne who wanted to connect the former barn on their property to their listed historic house. The intervention transforms the barn into a functional extension of their lifestyle, particularly supporting one client’s ceramic practice, with direct access to the garden as well as spaces for displaying and drying work.
The program also includes a living room opening onto the garden and two additional bedrooms, allowing for future guests or family expansion. A key element of the project is the dining area, designed for the second client, who works in champagne production. It serves as a space for tastings, client receptions, and dinners with partners and brands.
A glazed walkway links the existing buildings, creating a transition between the historic house and the more rustic barn. It introduces a visible dining space before entering the main house, along with a summer living area intended for hosting guests and workshops related to the clients’ activities.
