a timeless transformation

Nestled in serene rural surroundings, an old farmhouse has been beautifully transformed by architect Simon de Burbure.

honoring the old

Simon began by peeling the structure back to its core, carefully analyzing the original forms and flow. From there, he reimagined the space as a tranquil refuge respecting its past while enhancing it with a soft modern sensibility. For Simon, architecture is not just about design, but about emotion. His goal was to craft a home that evokes a sense of calm, connection, and understated beauty.
