Gérard Faivre | Old and Modern

Old and Modern Tweet

Past and present come together in the renovation and reconstruction projects carried out by architect Gérard Faivre.

Restored with all due respect for the authenticity of the place, Faivre uses elegance and sophistication to adapt old and rural houses in the French region of Provence to current needs. “The obstacles we had to face yesterday are not those we have these days, as technology enables us to do almost anything”.

To obtain the highest brightness and take care over colours are the main pillars of his work, whose sole purpose is to achieve utmost comfort in every room. “The unceasing search for originality, both inside and outside, leads to the full success of the project”.

The choice of materials adds to the sense of sophistication. Thanks to them, the architect transmits “the liking for the past, bringing back and keeping memories of the house”, creating idyllic spaces where “the owner can find happiness in the authenticity of the place”.

For this architect each project is always a big adventure, an indescribable pleasure. As the fruit of his passion for this work, Faivre succeeds in making a restored house “a living witness that will prevail in the future for the pleasure of future generations”.
