基本説明
Architecture is a passionate affair for the Lafourcade family.
Bruno Lafourcade, the father, opened his architecture office
in 1968 and specialized in restoring old estates. His wife
Dominique Lafourcade, designs extraordinary gardens,
known throughout the world for their unique beauty.
Trained since he was fifteen in the trade by Bruno, his late
father, Alexandre Lafourcade is the only one who could carry
on the family tradition. Managing the company based
in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Alexandre believes in preserving
traditional architecture while introducing modern features
in his proposals.
Specialized in the restoration of essentially XVIIIth century
properties, the Lafourcades know how to reinvent bygone
ambiances and awaken sleeping estates. From an old
farmhouse, totally devoid of charm, or from an exceptional
yet run-down building that deserves to be rebuilt, they create
homes that seem to have been standing there forever, as they
are perfectly integrated into the environment.
Sought after by an international clientele, Bruno and Alexandre
Lafourcade haved completed contemporary architecture
projects with a lot of boldness. Coordinating all aspects
of construction sites, paying a close attention to details,
they select the best craftsmen from various trades (masonry,
stone cutting, woodcarving, plastering, cabinetmaking,
wrought-iron work) in order to achieve perfection.
This original practice of architecture, interior decoration and
landscaping redefines today's home and enhances Provençal
living, an ideal combination of tradition and modernity.
