The Watermill

The Watermill

Description: a vast watermill surrounded by rushing water and a large beautiful garden, situated south of Paris in the department of Eure-et-Loir. This old monastery was destroyed in the 9th century by the Normans. Nuns settled here until the French revolution in 1789 and it later became a private property with a bed and breakfast. The new owners have great ambitions and want to transform and rehabilitate this castlelike watermill, to their private hideaway from Paris, where they can host and spend time with friends and family.

Mission: building permits, facade/roof modifications, interior demolition/restoration, total interior transformation and renovation

Client: private
