When our clients approached us with their vision for a French Provincial-style cottage on a petite site, we knew this project would be a delightful challenge. Their passion for timeless European charm and precise aesthetic preferences guided every decision, resulting in a home that feels both intimate and grand.
To maximize the limited footprint, we added vaulted ceilings in the living space drawing the eye upward, creating an illusion of spaciousness while infusing the cottage with an air of sophistication. A centerpiece is a statement clawfoot bath, an artful nod to classic French indulgence.
The living area centers around a handpicked French-style gas fireplace, its ornate detailing and warm glow serving as the heart of the home. Custom cabinetry and reclaimed timber accents add rustic authenticity, while soft, muted hues and vintage-inspired fixtures reinforce the provincial character.
Despite the compact site, no compromise was made on quality or charm. Clever storage and work from home solutions hide seamlessly within walls, and every nook was tailored to the clients’ lifestyle. From the rustic flooring to the iron-framed windows that frame garden views, this cottage is a testament to what happens when meticulous craftsmanship meets unwavering attention to a client’s vision.
This isn’t just a small home—it’s a curated experience, where every square metre whispers “joie de vivre.”
