Revitalizing Tradition: Les Sources de Cheverny Hotel
The development of the new buildings at Les Sources de Cheverny Hotel necessitated careful consideration of the existing context. Originally, the plot consisted of a castle and its outbuildings, which had become disjointed over time.
Restoring Historic Consistency
The primary objective of the project was to restore the historic coherence of the site by renovating the existing buildings and introducing new ones. This approach aimed to reconnect the fragmented elements and recapture the site’s original character.
Harmonious Design
The new buildings harmonize with the existing structures in terms of form, scale, and materials, paying homage to the site’s architectural heritage. However, they also assert their own distinct identity, contributing to a balanced blend of tradition and modernity.
Creating a New Hamlet
Collectively, the renovated and newly constructed buildings form a cohesive ensemble, akin to a modern-day hamlet. This cohesive development reveals and honors the layers of history embedded within the site, bridging the past with the present.
Conclusion
Les Sources de Cheverny Hotel exemplifies a thoughtful approach to architectural intervention within a historical context. By respecting the site’s heritage while infusing it with contemporary elements, the project revitalizes tradition and breathes new life into a cherished landmark.
