It took the Dutch designer and ELLE Decoration Country Champion ten years to renovate an ancient mill in the Dordogne, France. Here, he shares his memories of transforming the ruin into holiday homes LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
It wasJeanine during aand visitI to Château de Mavaleix to Isee friendstothat wife first saw the watermill. wanted buymy it immediately – ruins had been a great love of mine since I was small. Unfortunately, its owner Willem did not want to part with his piece of land, so each time that we returned to Château de Mavaleix for the summer I reminded him that the mill should really be mine. Eventually, he allowed me to buy it – the hotel, restaurant and gîte at the château already consumed all of his resources. We agreed that he would take care of the permits and construction supervision. His own experience of restoration and his local knowledge was useful when it came to finding the right people to resurrect the mill. I initially wanted to buy the ruins together with Menno, a good friend in the art world. Our idea was to create an art centre at the site. The first time he took his wife Sarah to see it, it , she was horrified: R E Y she asked if he was playing a joke and whether the ‘real’ mill was A M S elsewhere. At that time, it was nothing more than a pit in the ground A M O and the outbuildings consisted of a set of walls with collapsed roofs. H T : Y H P A R G O T O H P
Ourthe first task was to make site ready for development, away clutter around thethe outbuilding. Menno was evenclearing able to use the bulldozer to restore the path behind the mill to its former glory, which incidentally delivered more laughs than results.

FIRST STEPS
The mill was used as a holiday home decades ago, yet slowly but surely it had fallen into disrepair. The tempête (storm) of 1999 dealt the building a devastating blow. Once water got into the poor masonry of the walls they quickly started to wash away. Nature had taken
wild boar and rosé wine that tasted like lemonade. Foreigners are not always welcomed with open arms – a Frenchman will not allow himself to be manoeuvred into a position where the decisions are made by whoever is paying the bills. With some of the locals it is
over. Less than ten years later we were purchasing nothing more than an overgrown pit with stones. Sadly, Menno could not release funds to carry on with the project, so it was decided that I would continue alone. The site’s owner, Willem, arranged for Jean, a Belgian contractor who lived in the area to be our builder. He had experience with pierre apparente brickwork (literally translated this means brickwork with visible stones). The expectation was that the project would cost around £513,000 in total. I had already arranged the first £256,000 by redeeming the excess value of our house in Geldrop and I was planning to borrow the remaining funds from my own company. I had to go to the notary with Jeanine to sign the deeds, which was an emotional experience for her as she had absolutely no desire to own a mill in France. After paying Willem for the land, the remaining funds disappeared like snow in the sunshine, even before the outbuilding was complete. We had enormously
almost like walking a tightrope. In any case, an email or phone call is certainly not as efficient as a visit in person or, even better, being welcomed into someone’s home. At the end of October 2007, 2007, Jeanine and I spent our first of many holidays in the outbuilding. We would drive down on a Friday so that we could go to the Saturday morning market in Thivier to buy provisions directly from the farmers and producers: cheese, foie gras, organic bread, fruit… We would buy everything that looked good and eat it all up before returning home. In the autumn months, together with Edwin, one of my regular travelling friends, I indulged in my hobby of collecting woodland mushrooms. And each time I drove into the valley, to the end of the world, I would think: ‘it’s all right, this is the most beautiful place in the world, I’m coming home’. For me, the mill was ideal: shielded from the world and at one with nature.
miscalculated. Luckily my business was finally bringing in money, and I could just about continue building. I spent successive evenings drawing up details for the team in France and simultaneously for the guys in our Dutch workshop to make window frames, doors, screens and hinges. A few seasons passed, and I found it difficult to pay for items that I had not seen or checked. Long-distance building turned out to be a kind of mental self-flagellation. THE END OF THE WORLD
Our builder Jean worked with great dedication on the outbuilding, but it was clear that the mill itself would be an

We had agreed with my friend Edwin and his wife Petra that we would spend our holiday with them and their children in ‘Le Moulin’. The mill was almost complete: the cement floors had just been laid and the building was watertight. None of the bathrooms were finished, though. There was also no heating or warm water, and almost all of the carpentry still had to be done. Full of optimism we moved a great deal of the mill’s furniture to Château de Mavaleix so
impossible task for him. Luckily he’d met a young Dutch contractor, Rolls Ratelband, and a Polish team of builders who’d worked with natural stone during the summer. They started work on the mill. The outbuilding was as good as finished, aside from a little bit of remaining carpentry, so they slept there as they worked. Rolls would now take accountabilty for, and control of, the project. During this time Jeanine and I rented the old gîte, its blue shuttered windows facing towards the château, a few times every year. We really enjoyed it there. I spent most of the time building down in the valley, but in the evenings we ate together with the children and had a wonderful time. Rolls provided an enormous boost to the project. The Polish men referred to my mill ‘Le Moulin de las Combas’ as the end of the world, but, in the middle of the first cold, wet winter months of 2008, protected by makeshift tarps, they quickly built themselves out of the deep, wet pit that was the ruins.
We were fairly positive about obtaining planning permission. We had the local authorities on our side and, above all, we were building pretty much exactly on the foundations of the original buildings using natural stone from local sources. We discovered that there were two quarries still operational in the area and that the colour of this stone matched that of the solid stone floors in the nearby château. Positive reactions from the French civil servants suggested that we were progressing in the right direction. However, when we

to increase our level of contact, he tried to become less and less accountable. Rolls, on the other hand, sent daily timesheets and photos whenever I asked for them. Months later there came a confrontation with Jean, and I accepted his resignation. He thought it a great shame that he had not been able to finish the job. He had done so much, but I was relieved that I could let go of the tension. We continued to work on the mill without planning permission, with the mayor more or less turning a blind eye. But at a certain point a civil servant came to inspect the site. He went crazy when he saw that we’d nearly finished two houses and built a 30-metrelong dyke. When he saw an enormous hole in the rock above the mill that was the last straw! A stone quarry permanently changes the landscape and is strictly forbidden. In fact, it was our intention to build a garage into the mountain so that cars could be parked out of sight. But, I have to be honest, we did indeed take some stones from the rock face. The letter that the official sent us was also delivered to the mayor. It began with the forceful words ‘ arrête arrête arrête’ at the top of the page. The purchase of my new business premises in Eindhoven meant that there was no more time or money to finish the mill. It was years later that we resumed work. When we submitted the new planning application, the official had calmed down. We had unknowingly chosen the best possible tactic: taking a long break.

The project, which seemed to be neverending, has been intense for both Jeanine and I. Yet, whereas I had chosen most of what had happened, she was at thewere mercy of everything I was It was only when both buildings almost finished, and the doing. fear of failure diminished, that she really started to enjoy herself. She designed tableware for the houses. Instead of creating a completely new set, she devised a way of re-glazing old porcelain. Choosing the right colour to fit with the mill’s stone, concrete and wood was a meticulous job – it eventually became known as ‘Mavaleix blue’. It has taken years to change the restoration of the watermill from a negative into a positive experience for Jeanine, but now the children have fantastic childhood memories of the time we have spent here and a place they can call home for the rest of their lives. Our holidays in the valley are always wonderful. I work hard during the day and cook in the evening. At work I am rarely physically busy any more, so lugging stones around is a blessing. Jeanine does some gardening but mainly relaxes. For me, the mill is like a dream and I enormously enjoy seeing others experience it. On 21 December 2013, long after we had started work on the project, I was finally granted planning permission. And, in the summer of 2014, we slept in the completed mill for the first time.

The property faces south to make the most of the uninterrupted views, while shielding the open courtyards on either side of the building from the strong prevailing winds that whip across the landscape. Consequently, the entire space adapts effortlessly to indoor/outdoor living. Inside, a series of new oak-clad rooms connect to an old galvanised zinc barn, which provides further accommodation. The terraces are furnished as beautifully as the interior, with comfortable, curated pieces: the Rodolfo Dordoni ‘Boma’ sofas invite you to recline and enjoy the verdant views, while Jasper Morrison ‘Park Life’ chairs await summer soirees in the dining areas. The furniture fu rniture is by Spanish company Kettal and is designed for outdoor living. The materials used in the construction of the house strengthen its connection to the natural surroundings: reclaimed handmade Suffolk bricks and terracotta tiles, galvanised steel, flint and green oak are fused with modern laminated timber and steel, oversized frameless glass and black zinc – the striking porcelain cladding is a fittingly luxurious finishing touch. This, surely, is the epitome of contemporary country living. studiorhe.com; kettal.com

erched on the hills above Lake Bracciano, in the historic Italian village of Trevignano Romano, this poolside villa is unexpectedly modern, with airy rooms and concrete surfaces. Its owners are from Moscow: Andrey works in advertising and his wife Dasha is an art manager. This is their second home, where they spend quality time with their daughter Sasha and her grandfather. The striking interior was created for them by designer Hanne Lise Poli. The couple immediately fell in love with her aesthetic, and it took Hanne and her team just eight months to renovate the house. The mottled plaster walls, concrete floors and muted grey palette are her signature style, as are the accents of raw wood and distressed finishes that reference this home’s rural setting. Hanne reorganised the interior and heightened the ceilings to create a light, open scheme. The kitchen and dining area are generously proportioned, and five spacious bedrooms replace seven modest ones. The living room is framed by glazing that connects it to the outdoors. Beyond is a timber deck overlooking the infinity pool. ‘The feeling we experienced when we first entered the house was beyond words,’ says Dasha. ‘We were stunned – happy. happy. Then suddenly we found the words: intelligent, refined, a mixture of the most brilliant architectural styles; so contemporary yet vintage. Everything was new to us, but at the same time we already felt at home.’ hannepoli.com

This Modernist off-the-grid holiday home, nestled between the clouds and the clifftops at the edge of South Africa’s Plettenberg Bay, is an example of green architecture at its most breathtaking W o r ds G R A HA M W O O D P h o t o g r a p h y G R E G C O X / B U R E A U X .

rriving at this house you make your way through a meadow of waving grasses, with the building’s Modernist exterior sitting ahead of you on the horizon like a screen, obscuring the clifftop vistas across South Africa’s Plettenberg Bay – they are reserved for those who venture inside. This is all part of architect Christiaan van Aswegen’s Aswegen’s plan. He refers to this home as ‘an unfolding sequence of spaces’ or ‘architectural tantra’: a carefully choreographed progression. ‘Only once you are inside do you get a glimpse of the view beyond, and then, as you work y your our way towards the deck at the front of the house, it just expands and blows your mind.’ ‘The landscape falls away and you have caves and birds below you,’ says the home’s owner, South African-born British investor Julian Treger. ‘On occasion, when you wake up, the cloud level is below the house.’ The décor throughout the interior is deliberately monastic, and seems almost to disappear to serve the views. The spaces are unified by a clean white palette, and the slate floors create cohesion inside and out. Yet Yet the home is also gallery-like; the perfect background to Julian’s collections of design and a nd art, which include ‘Chandigarh’ furnishings by Swiss architect Pierre Jeanneret mixed with rustic cowhides and sleek pieces by Italian photographer
and designer Willy Rizzo. There are also geometric designs by American Modernist Paul Evans and Italian Harry Bertoia. It is Julian’s personal paradise – a place that is off-grid and selfsufficient. The house runs off solar power and stores and recycles its own water. It is entirely secluded and rural, but utterly modern. ‘This was an opportunity to show that sustainability and green architecture should never be an excuse for not producing a beautiful building,’ says Christiaan.

Shaped like a ship to shield it from the bracing breeze of the Baltic Sea, this Danish summer cottage is an architectural triumph and a perfect family retreat

s Danish summer cottage is like he island of Lolland on the edge ea. The house is contemporary, ith the traditional rustic cabins that populate this rugged stretch of coastline,
yet its sculptural façade is perfectly at home within itstimber woodland setting. It took architect Flemming Skude four years to develop the plans for the house and several skilled carpenters six months to create its cedar exterior, larch wood roof and smooth interior walls that are lined with pitch pine plywood. The woods were chosen for their quality and require no maintenance,
but also reveal Flemming’s passion for the material, which features often in his work. The bolthole, which is also used by the architect’s daughter and her family, is affectional called the House of the Wind. ‘Because we are on the south coast of Lolland and exposed to strong southwesterly winds,
it became obvious that I should design the cottage around that. So, the building is shaped
ND H HOUS O H WIND, HIS CBIN IS IK NO OH R ON H ISND O OND like a ship, to cleave the wind which flows around it,’ Flemming says. ‘The façade is protected much more than that of a square house, where andside, lichens take hold on mosses the north andcan theoften sun scorch its south-facing walls.’ The principles of Chinese Feng Shui influenced the layout of the floor plan inside the house. The interior is eminently practical:
the rooms have high ceilings, and storage cabinets are built into the walls. The family ’s penchant for wood is referenced by both the furniture – an informal mix of old and classic
pieces, such as an armchair from Danish brand Please Wait To To Be Seated – and the small wooden sculptures, which Flemming carves by hand. The floating wooden staircase
is a dramatic focal point that leads up to his youngest grandson’s ‘cave’. He may have set out to push the boundaries
of architecture whenhas creating this house, but, in it, Flemming also created the perfect home-from-home for his family. flemmingskude.com

The entrance leads directly into the spacious dining area, which opens onto an outdoor terrace. Situated immediately to the left, down a couple of steps, is the open-plan living space and, beyond, the pool. To create a sense of cohesion, the same stone floor flows inside and out. Around the terraces and pool, the stone is untreated, but inside it is sleek and polished. The seating area and fireplace are built into the whitewashed walls, becoming part of the architecture. This is a traditional Mallorcan design trick, but in this villa it is given a modern twist with clean, flowing lines. Timber is used throughout, from the ceiling beams and coffee table in the living room, to the bunk beds in the bedroom, and the simple bench in the bathroom. Its natural knots and imperfections add charm to the simple décor. The character of the villa changes subtly as the day progresses.

he cerulean waters of Lake Como sparkle beneath this secluded rural villa, which is nestled in a rocky outcrop accessible only on foot. Its view of the historic village of Torno has remained unchanged for centuries. ‘I had always dreamed of owning a place that was immersed in nature and the wildness of the landscape,’ says homeowner Erika Trojer. By modernising the existing architecture, she has refreshed the property and turned it into the perfect holiday retreat. But as well as restoring the house, she has also expanded it – excavating the rocks beneath to build a basement, using local materials ‘so as not to destroy the atmosphere of the old structure’. As you enter the house, you move gradually from the original building to the new extension. The kitchen has thick stone walls and authentic timber beams, and the interior becomes more modern in the dining area. The new space has been designed to make the most of the beautiful views, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open out on to terraces facing the lake. Upstairs, the main bedroom is atmospheric and romantic. There are two more bedrooms on this floor, as well as one in the basement, which also has a sauna with stunning rock walls. ‘ We thought we would find earth beneath all the rock when we started excavating,’ says Erika, ‘but we just found more rock the deeper we went!’ On the terraces, Erika and her family can take it easy in the shade of the trees or stretch out in the Italian sun. ‘I feel so relaxed when I get here – it’s like taking off a coat co at of worries,’ she says.

The layout is simple: ood pathways that wind through s its own special view of the ocean. Carved into the hillside, the house is submerged in its surroundings and slide-away glass walls and doors open the low-key interiors to the outdoors. The steel support beams that form the bones of the house are clad in wooden panels: cedar in the t he main living space and kitchen and blackwood in the double bedroom and bathroom at the top of the property (a space Craig has dubbed ‘the nest’). External walls are protected by tongue-and-groove board painted in a dark hue that blends into the indigenous shrubland of the mountainside. ‘This is a place that connects with the wild, real people and freedom. Scarborough almost feels like Africa’s last outpost, surrounded by the untameable ocean and exposed Cape Peninsula,’ Craig says. Each room of the house has a focal point: the downstairs main bedroom features a Feng Shui water channel that cuts through the back wall and across the floor, then reappears as a fountain that flows into the outdoor pool. Everything in the kitchen slides away, including the extractor. ‘It’s a blissful space whether I’m chilling with a book or sharing a beer and a braai [ [ barbecue] with friends. The entire house was made for easy living.’ Synergy Tree House is available for holiday lets, synergy-scarborough.com

Her work is a passion, and her art not only adorns the canvases that fill her studio, but spills vividly on to the walls walls of her home. Consequently Consequently,, many of the rooms of Château de Beauvoir, a castle
set ine become five hectares of farmla farmland nd and forest in Auvergne, France, France, have hav larger-than-life artworks depicting depicting flora in dreamy, saturated shades. Just Claire and her partner Pierre live in the 40-room château, which they have painstakingly restored, but every year during two weekends in May and June they receive around 500 visitors who flock to see Claire’s work. ‘I like to think of it as adding life to our life,’ she says. ‘When we bought the château, we did not know that my paintings would keep it going, that they would give the old building new meaning in every way, and become its main attraction. Pierre and I work as a team. He is a self-taught renovator [he was previously an elementary school teacher] but has done most of the restoration work at the property himself, including all of the blacksmith, carpentry and masonry work.’ Much of the faded original colour was left on the walls and doors, to provide a beautiful backdrop to the paintings, which entirely cover the small rooms. Claire decided to go for an immersive look, and her final aim So is to paint the surface of almost everyand room in a different theme. far, ten rooms have been completed four are in progress. ‘Only time will tell what the final outcome will be,’ she says. clairebasler.com

igh on a Swiss hillside overlooking Lake Maggiore is a Modernist building hidden by exotic woodland – a three-st three-storey orey concrete concrete tower that evokes evokes images of a fairy-tale castle nestled amid an
enchanted forest. Its owner is architect Jérôme de Meuron of the practice Wespi de Meuron Romeo. Jérôme has lived here for almost two years with his wife Paola and their son, Demien. On the same plot is the architecture office that he shares with colleagues Markus Wespi and Luca Romeo. ‘The
studio dates back to 1981 and my house was built on a spare section of the site,’ he says. ‘The 130-square-metre pentagonal design fits on the plot like a jigsaw piece within a puzzle – the road, atelier and
woodland determined its shape.’ On the top floor, which is level with the road on one side, there is an open-plan living space with a kitchen. The floor below hosts the bedrooms and bathroom, each facing a small loggia. Down in the basement are the cellar and boiler room. ‘The building has a limited impact on its natural surroundings,’ says Jérôme, ‘thanks to its raw cement façade, a modern take on natural stone’. This aesthetic continues inside, where the walls are finished simply in cement, with oak adding warmth to the sparse arrangements of custom-made furniture. ‘Today, we are increasingly having to adapt to living in small spaces,’ says Jérôme. ‘Designing my own
house was great practice for my work.’ wespidemeuron.ch

Elsewhere, skylights and smaller windows funnel natural light through the house.

Each space is named after Sicilian artworks and artists and specifically designed using different colours and concepts. Some rooms have private terraces looking out over the courtyards or to the valley beyond. ‘Our love of travel and art led us to search for unique and characterful vintage and design pieces to furnish the rooms,’ Stefano says. ‘We combined these to create a place where the beauty of the past frames f rames the contemporary.’ The name of the house, translated as ‘Ruffle Manor’, is inspired by the undulating rocks on which the property is built.

ituated on the upper slopes of Devil’s Peak, overlooking the city of Cape Town, this charming white villa could be mistaken for a Mediterranean retreat. Dawid Kriel, a hair stylist, and his property developer partner, Norman Wenzelburger, stumbled upon the rugged 1940s property five years ago. It was small, with just four dark rooms, and located
in an area that is at the mercy of the th e Cape’s notorious south-easterly wind. But Norman saw the potential of the huisie [an Afrikaans term for a small cottage] and took on what became a year-long building project, while Dawid planned the interior. ‘We wanted a home with comfortable proportions that felt entrenched in the surrounding landscape,’ explains Dawid. To this end – and to shield the house from the biting wind – they excavated the property’s steep incline to its highest elevation at street level and added an extra two floors, while at the lowest point there is now a garden with a swimming pool that spans the breadth of the house. The exterior walls were finished in raw concrete and the Table Mountain sandstone that was excavated from the site. The 280-square-metre interior is now a series of indoor/outdoor spaces that were inspired by Dawid and Norman’s travels to Italy and France, specifically the pretty courtyards that they had explored there. There is a sociable feel throughout and the interior is dedicated to entertaining, music, cooking and relaxing with friends. It feels part South African farmhouse, part sun-drenched Tuscan pile.

Most of the work was done by hand: for instance, the centuries-old beams were painstakingly cleaned using a hoe and trowel. ‘The villagers thought we were a little crazy. They’d never seen anyone make such a fuss over a house before,’ she adds. The original terracotta floor tiles in the kitchen and living room were also preserved, but the couple introduced new solid oak flooring to add some warmth to the upstairs rooms. Throughout, Samina’s considered arrangements of Danish furniture, mixed with Andrea’s rustic pieces, create a cosy setting. An abundance of textiles adds another layer of comfort: from the colourful Pakistani blankets and pillows to the gauzy curtains that filter sunlight inside. Their rooftop terrace has striking views of the village and valley beyond. Here, the couple enjoy a morning coffee as the sun rises and entertain friends in the evening. ‘The light is absolutely incredible and the view just stunning,’ says Samina. andreabrugi.com
