The property comprises the original main house and a former tobacco drying facility. The main house, with its east-facing façade and traditional porch entry, basks in gentle morning sunlight. It perfectly frames an intimate entrance and primary living spaces.

An old stable with a mezzanine on the eastern wing has been reimagined into a two-story private area. This design ensures a thoughtful separation between public and intimate spaces.

Meanwhile, the converted tobacco-drying building now accommodates additional dining and living spaces adjacent to a newly introduced swimming pool. With open views in all directions and particularly lush greenery to the west, the residence connects beautifully to its rural surroundings.

The new layout is thoughtfully designed with a focus on the site’s unique features, such as privacy, natural light, and accessibility. The new layout is structured around a central library that connects the entrance to the main functional zones.

Social spaces are thoughtfully situated on the western side and aligned with the south façade, capturing maximum sunlight and offering captivating forest views nearby.

In contrast, private areas are placed on the east to ensure intimacy and panoramic distant vistas, while service areas, including the kitchen and laundry, are strategically located to maintain seamless functionality and flow.

The vision for Le Coulinet was to craft a home that feels bright, open, and intimately connected to its landscape — balancing modern comfort with the enduring character of the original structure.

This refurbishment revitalises a cherished heritage asset and sets a new standard for rural living, where history and modernity merges to create an inspiring and sustainable home.
