Inside a Modern French Estate

Classic on the outside, Effortless on the inside.

From the street, it reads as a Parisian manor: a mansard roofline, glowing windows, and a stone court. Step through the doors and it opens into a calm, light-filled living.

Inside, sage-paneled salons feature soft cove lighting, steel-framed glass doors that lead you from room to room, and a double-height great room under a warm wood ceiling. The kitchen is made for gathering, with glass walls that open straight onto the terrace.

Then the sun goes down. At dusk, a long reflecting pool, a spa, and a pavilion glow, and the whole house lights up like a lantern.

Every line is drawn with purpose, and every room was designed to be lived in.

Which space is calling your name: the salon, the great room or the pool at golden hour? 👇

Where the oaks lead, the house follows.

Beneath a floating roofline of warm wood, this home opens itself completely towards the outdoor pool. Walls of glass fold away, and the line between indoors and outdoors disappears.

Inside, a double-height great room gathers everything that matters: a sculpted fireplace, pendant lights falling like drops of amber, a kitchen made for long conversations, and windows that frame centuries-old oaks like a living painting.

And for the adventurous? A dedicated space for a climbing wall that turns everyday movement into something playful.

Light, nature, and craft, all in one place.

Before and After of a master bath transition.
The space was dominated by an oversized, rarely used tub that obstructed circulation, paired with undersized vanities in awkward locations, limited storage and countertop space. The redesign prioritizes spatial efficiency, accessibility, and flow. Relocating a compact soaking tub to a quiet corner cleared the central floor plate, while shifting the water closet and shower entries on side walls unlocked continuous wall space for an expansive double vanity with integrated storage and open shelving. Transitioning to a curbless shower with recessed niches supports long-term aging-in-place while enhancing visual continuity. This delivers an open, serene retreat tailored to the clients' everyday routines
