Martin Migeon Architecture has extended and reconverted an old farmhouse near the Gironde Estuary in Chenac-Saint-Seurin-d'Uzet, France.

Located in a small hamlet in Charentes-Maritimes overseeing the Gironde Estuary, an existing barn is transformed into a holiday house.

"This project was challenged by the existing composition of the old farm: how to transform an agriculture-orientated space into a livable house – while keeping the original spirit of the former construction," said Martin Migeon Architecture.

Thus, the project was conceived as a sequence of differentiated volumes each with its own orientation and distinct characteristics of volumetry, materiality, view and light.

This project has been longlisted in the house extension category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
