La Tabatière House / Noue Studio

March 15, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

This village is part of a region that was long known for its tobacco growing. Initially designed as a tobacco barn and workshop, a chicken coop was then added to the building. It has evolved according to its owners’ different needs.
