Nestled in Burgundy, "La Ferme aux Escaliers" is a charming traditional stone building, with its North facade holding the esteemed status of an Historical Monument.

To accommodate the program's requirements, which exceeded the existing structure's capacity, the roof was raised and a new basement was created.

The restoration work focused on preserving the beauty of the stone facades, breathing new life into them. A delightful addition to the building is the solarium, perched upon the roof, inviting sunlight to penetrate and bathe the atrium in a luminous embrace. This central space serves as the heart of the building, around which the entire project revolves.

Inside this enchanting haven, a captivating wooden framework emerges, while activity boxes appear to float in the central void, suspended in mid-air. A graceful concrete staircase gracefully ascends to the first floor, seamlessly connecting the various elements of the space.

"La Ferme aux Escaliers" exudes a magical ambiance, where history intertwines with contemporary design to create a truly captivating experience.
