Résumé

Architecture is a passionate affair for the Lafourcade family. Bruno Lafourcade, the father, opened his architecture office in 1968 and specialized in restoring old estates. His wife Dominique Lafourcade, designs extraordinary gardens, known throughout the world for their unique beauty. Trained since he was fifteen in the trade by Bruno, his late father, Alexandre Lafourcade is the only one who could carry on the family tradition. Managing the company based in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Alexandre believes in preserving traditional architecture while introducing modern features in his proposals. Specialized in the restoration of essentially XVIIIth century properties, the Lafourcades know how to reinvent bygone ambiances and awaken sleeping estates. From an old farmhouse, totally devoid of charm, or from an exceptional yet run-down building that deserves to be rebuilt, they create homes that seem to have been standing there forever, as they are perfectly integrated into the environment. Sought after by an international clientele, Bruno and Alexandre Lafourcade haved completed contemporary architecture projects with a lot of boldness. Coordinating all aspects of construction sites, paying a close attention to details, they select the best craftsmen from various trades (masonry, stone cutting, woodcarving, plastering, cabinetmaking, wrought-iron work) in order to achieve perfection. This original practice of architecture, interior decoration and landscaping redefines today's home and enhances Provençal living, an ideal combination of tradition and modernity.
