This article from Architectural Digest discusses the transformation of a centuries-old property in France into a modern live-work space by designer Eric Schmitt. The property, known as Le Chapitre, dates back to the 12th century and has undergone repairs and improvements over the years. Schmitt and his partner purchased the property six years ago and have since renovated the main house, created a studio and workshops, and added stables. The interiors of the main house feature a light-filled, loft-like design with an emphasis on comfort, incorporating both Schmitt's sleek furniture designs and antiques found across Europe. The property also includes a vegetable garden, fruit trees, and various animals. Schmitt is currently working on designing a fragrance bottle and a collection of sculptural outdoor furniture. Overall, the property reflects Schmitt's dedication to art and creation. [Extracted from the article]
