The restoration of a prestigious old house, whether it be an elegant building in Bordeaux, a historic villa in Antibes or a Provençal farmhouse in Aix-en-Provence, is a project of rare scale. Unlike a simple superficial renovation, restoration aims to thoroughly renovate the building to breathe new life into it, while respecting its history and incorporating contemporary comfort and energy standards. It is a comprehensive undertaking that requires specialised expertise, from the initial heritage study to the final completion of the project.
At Maison A&G, among the services we offer, we orchestrate the transformation of these exceptional residences into high-end homes where architectural heritage harmonises with modern luxury. Our comprehensive interior design and project management services guarantee that your project is taken care of from start to finish, ensuring perfect consistency between the design intent and the execution of the work.
Preserving heritage, revealing exclusivity
Renovating an old house is an act of preservation. It involves deciphering the soul of the property, from its stone walls to its carved woodwork, in order to highlight its unique character.
Each step of our process is designed to maximise the potential of your property. Before even discussing the budget or prices, a comprehensive and in-depth assessment is essential. This assessment is not limited to the structural condition (foundations, roof, framework) but also includes an evaluation of the insulation, electrical, plumbing and heating systems. It is the first step towards a successful project.
Structural work, such as damp proofing or repairing load-bearing walls, always takes priority. Only after ensuring the building’s long-term viability do we move on to the fitting-out and finishing stages.
Tailor-made orchestration, from design to delivery
Our approach to refurbishment is one of bespoke design where every detail matters.
Heritage study
The starting point for any project is a thorough study of the building and its surroundings. We analyse the original architecture, local constraints and regulatory requirements. This allows us to define the exact scope of the project and structure the renovation objectives to achieve an authentic and compliant result.
Custom design
Our interior designers imagine the space according to your aspirations. Whether it’s redesigning the layout of the rooms, integrating a modern kitchen or creating new openings, the design aims to improve the comfort of the home without detracting from its original character.
Selection of high-quality materials
The quality of materials is non-negotiable for a prestigious renovation. We select rare woods, natural stones and high-end finishes to guarantee exceptional durability and aesthetics. This selection is crucial to ensure that the new home meets luxury standards.
Construction management
Our project management teams oversee the construction site. We carefully coordinate the various tradespeople and ensure the quality of each stage of the work. The choice of RGE (Recognised Environmental Guarantors) tradespeople is a guarantee of quality, particularly for insulation work and modern heating systems, and also allows you to benefit from financial assistance.
The art of reconciling heritage and modernity
The modern renovation of an old house necessarily involves improving its energy performance. This includes effective insulation and the installation of innovative heating systems.
To do this, an energy audit is an essential preliminary step. It identifies energy losses and targets the most relevant insulation and heating work. As a private individual undertaking renovation work, you may be eligible for government assistance such as MaPrimeRénov’ or other grants for improving your home.
Our experts will advise you on how to make the most of this financial assistance, which can cover a significant portion of the cost of insulation and the installation of new equipment.
