Text description provided by the architects. The site on which this project is situated lies in the verdant valley of the Adour de Lesponne river, in the mountainous region of the Hautes-Pyrénées. It is positioned on an area of flat pastureland nestled against a steep slope and offers fine vistas over the valley below and lofty mountain peaks beyond. It is framed by an area of deciduous woodland and is partially occupied by an existing stone barn. This agricultural building, a remnant of the area’s lively agricultural past, has been converted into a holiday home. The quality of the conversion demonstrates great respect for the building’s vernacular architecture and great sensitivity to its rural setting, thereby preserving the authenticity and unique character of the site.Our purpose was to add an extension to the existing barn conversion, creating new living spaces (a guest room and multi-purpose room), along with a utility area and garage.
