On the border of the Manche and Calvados departments; an 18th century castle and its outbuildings surrounded by almost 20 hectares of land. The castle stands in the middle of a formal French park. From the road, the access driveway, lined with beech trees, splits into two symmetrical alleys, decorated with ball-shaped box, meeting at the foot of the castle. On one side, a pond embellishes the park. There are five outbuildings on the other side.

“The spirit of the house is grounded in the materiality of its muscular architecture—its chunky plaster walls, terracotta tile roof, stone fireplace surrounds, and dark ceiling of exposed wood beams. The interior appointments alternately reinforce the ruggedness of the architectural envelope and respectfully contradict it with furnishings that place a premium on refined lines, distilled forms, and soft textures.”
