I could not stop at just the Normandy home, how about a thatched cottage from the 70s that looks like something out of a fairytale? Designer Santillane de Chanaleilles once again took this weekend home of  350 m2 to an unexpected contemporary route and created something really unique. She took advantage of the original curves of the bean-shaped structure and played off the round theme throughout most if the spaces. It is now bright, inviting and organic. Photos: Julien Pepy.
