LSL Architects have undertaken a breathtaking transformation of an 18th-century barn in the picturesque French countryside, turning it into charming gites that blend history and modern comfort seamlessly. With a vision that celebrates the rustic charm of the original structure while infusing it with contemporary elements, LSL Architects have breathed new life into this historic gem.
Carefully preserving the barn’s original architectural features, such as exposed wooden beams and stone walls, the gites exude an authentic sense of history and character. The interior spaces have been thoughtfully reimagined to offer all the amenities one would expect from modern accommodations, without compromising on the unique ambiance.

The Schoolhouse, merges old and new, combining contemporary details within conservation architecture. This family home blends dynamic and vibrant elements with understated and timeless spaces, designed to feel as though it has been permanently embedded in the historic building. Our challenge was to create an inviting, emotive atmosphere that captivates those who live there and takes them on a experiential journey.
In typical Kingston Lafferty Design fashion, this home is high drama, drenched in bold colour, full of graphic, shapely elements and I was completely sold when I got to the sunken living room. Photos: Barbara Corsico, and for more details check out est living.

This rustic and utterly fabulous home is that of another designer over at HÁM Interiors, founder Tom Cox. Tongue and cheek rustic cottage, yet this design firm always manages to pull off some level of “really cool”.
Our founder Tom Cox fulfilled a long-time dream of owning a secluded farmhouse in Devon. He’s filled it with art, antiques, and furniture that reflect the Cox family’s design aesthetic and his love of nature. The farmhouse, cottage, and outdoor kitchen provide a cosy, inviting space for Tom, his family, and friends to escape and relax in comfort.
